They are literally undermining human rights, including the rights of LGBTQ people. You do know that Russia is one of the harshest places for LGBTQ people. It’s literally illegal to display pride symbols in any way. Also Russia started the war in Ukraine, they literally attacked and decided to occupy a sovern country. China is probably one of the most censorship heavy countries on earth and has suppressed acts of violence like the Tienanmen Square Massacre. How can anyone support countries like this WTF?

    And the US isn’t? The US doesn’t exactly have a stellar record either, so if you think the US is some bastion of human rights you haven’t. been. paying. attention. And if you think LGBT rights are safe from that you’re delusional.

    And that’s not even considering the many, many atrocities and war crimes the US has committed and continues to commit overseas (Yup, that’s a ChinaDaily link - if you believe US media reports about Chinese human rights violations then you must be willing to give the Chinese media the same courtesy about US violations, right?) So my advice to you is to hold on to that smug sense of US human rights superiority for as long as you can, cause once the illusion fades you’re in for a rough time.
