Look at that. Even a genocidal ethnostate is more progressive on LGBT+ issues than Republicans.

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (perjorative, perjorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Can you please include the country in the post title.
I wanted to but posts have been removed before without having the correct title
Put it in [brackets] so it doesn't change the headline.
“You can be gay, just don’t be a fucking Palestinian!” —Israel
Israel has special LGBT work permits and asylum processes for Palestinians who are gay. There are more Palestinians out in Israel than in Palestine.
Well yeah, all the ones in Palestine were blown up over the last few months.
Or, you know, beheaded.

It is not a safe space for LGBT+.
Come on, I know the Middle East isn’t safe for our gay friends- but that doesn’t mean we should give a free pass to one group mass-killing the other sides children just because they have better gay optics.
No one was giving them a free pass come on.
There are no free passes. Both sides slaughter each others children.
And then one slaughters their gay children themselves.
One does not need to equate these - or diminish the good in what Israel is doing. It’s progress. May there be much more.
Fantastic!
Next, end apartheid and occupation!! 😍🌈
Same sex couples who are members of ruling party only, child must raised Jewish and attend state school where they pledge allegiance every day.
As an avid Palestine supporter, I gotta say the news is not about that, and bringing it up out of context is just the means to hijack attention to the position we're all already aware of.
This piece of news is good, regardless of the conflict. Might be a little weird for them to focus on that right now, might be a political game, but it is good regardless.
My congratulations to Israeli LGBTQ+ community.
With Israeli obsession with children and family, it is extremely hard for LGBT, or any other couples to adopt - they have to prove they have the means to raise up these kids - both material and psychological.
How convenient! There's now thousands of orphans looking for homes!
Would be wild if hamas anounce the same..
Meanwhile Israel remains the biggest killer of LGBTQ+ Palestinians.
This is the same Israeli court that has ruled against Netanyahu multiple times, and which he has been desperately trying to delegitimize for fear of eventually going to prison. What Israel is doing is terrible, and we also shouldn't automatically dismiss progressive voices in Israel just because they are Israeli. There is a large percentage of Israel that does not support Netanyahu or the genocide he has undertaken
Sadly, even with the most recent conflict, that’s almost certainly not true.

Israel has special visa/work permit/asylum process for LGBT Palestinians. I would bet there’s more gay and out Palestinians in Israel than there are in Palestine.
Gaza/Hamas are especially awful relative to the West Bank.
Im not sure straight Palestinians are getting a pass.
When they murder 1700 LGBTQ+ people, then we can talk.
What?
I’m not gonna congratulate Israel for doing the right thing while they’re also committing genocide
