The amount of young lgbtq+ folks who have been radicalized by Hamas to hate an entire country and its people is vomit-inducing. I feel rage and embarrassment towards these foolish tools of terror. Generations of gays did not fight for our rights to be who we are so that the younger generation can come in and hate so freely and with so much misinformation. Hamas is winning". Threads .
