Yemen is one of the seven countries to apply a death penalty for consensual sexual acts between adults of the same sex.
It’s good they’re banding together to protect muslims against the threat of Israel (their words) but they’re still a religious authoritarian nightmare.
They are Muslims that practice Sharia law. What do you expect from them exactly? To accept something they believe it’s a sin? 😁 Allah is first to them. Most you can expect from them is that they won’t care about homosexuality outside of their country. Which they don’t give a fuck. Also, what you said sounds more like Saudi Arabia and other gulf monarchies. They are fucked up salafi scum, unlike Yemenis and Palestinians.
See how absurd that a country that has real human right abuses is doing more against a genocide than other countries that claim to care about human right abuses while bscking Israel.
When the west is going act like a real model and isolate Israel ?
They’re both evil - evil people can do good things, but doing those good things doesn’t negate the evil things. Take the US: it’s done undeniably evil things, but at the same time it’s (by several measures) the #1 contributor of humanitarian aid to the world. So does this mean we be praising the US since by that metric it’s undeniably the global paragon of humanitarian charity? Or should we maybe be glad that the US is doing something not awful, while not accepting it as justification to dismiss the evil it also does?
Supporting and applauding Yemen’s blocade against Israel doesn’t mean one also supports every single one of their other actions, priorities need to be decided in times like these, same way it’s stupid to condemn Hamas when it’s literally resisting genocide.
Yemen is peak anti-colonialism. Which unfortunately comes with religious conservatism as a reaction against colonial forces. Fanon discusses this at length in the context of Algeria.
Yemen is unironically peak human rights.
Uh…

Are you seriously saying we can’t expect them to do better… because they’re muslim? That is some pretty backhanded islamophobia.

Let me check my evil meter to find out if homophobia is worse than literal genocide against brown Untermenschen to create an ethnostate

Nuance really is dead, huh?
You sure are nuancing away all the gay people in Gaza massacred by the West.

The “official” Yemenite government is the saudi puppet one. This guy is from the based houthi ones.
Is the Houthi government better on gay rights?
