Are you suggesting that certain countries would describe LGBTQ activities as "terrorist and violent extremist content"? I don't think they would need to, they have special anti-LGBTQ laws already.
- CodiePetersen 7y agoCorrect and now they have the moral authority and excuse to continue doing it. That sort of support, especially when you can say from a podium "The world is behind us in this effort" is a powerful tool for governments to use. Imagine being gay or lesbian and hearing you might as well give up because the whole world is against you.
- int_19h 7y agoGiven that Saudi Arabia considers atheism to be a form of terrorism already, I don't see it as particularly far fetched. The reason to do so is because it allows making misleading claims for propaganda purposes.
- incompatible 7y agoI suppose it's a familiar strategy, pass draconian laws against terrorism, then expand the definition of "terrorism" to anything you don't like. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/13/us/politics/georgia-official-code-copyright.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/13/us/politics/georgia-offic...
