Have you ever heard of "homonationalism"? (poll, activist, suspect)

[itsjustmeagain]

I had never heard of it. How do gays think of nationalism?

Gays Really Love Germany's Racist, Homophobic Far Right Party

The combination of gayness and right-wing nationalism is nothing new per se—in academic and activist circles, the term "homonationalism" is often used to describe the overlap—but the recent populist wave in Europe has marked a turning point in gay people's willingness to publicly embrace the populist right. Depending on which poll you're reading, between 16.5 percent and a quarter of French LGBTQ voters supported the Front National (FN) late last year; according to another, more informal poll by the gay dating app Hornet, over one third of gay men overall planned to vote for Le Pen in the second round of the recent French election. A 2016 survey by a German gay magazine found that nearly 17 percent of gay male readers supported the AfD.

I suspect it is fueled strictly by the desire to limit Muslim immigration into their country. I don't blame them. Gays and others with alternative sexual leanings have a legitimate reason to be leery of a huge Muslim population shift, they've seen the people being thrown off buildings and swinging from cranes simply because of consensual sexual activity. They have also seen and heard the stories of Sharia Law taking a foothold in Muslim portions of cities in what are considered progressive countries.

What OH said above.

The LGBTQ community just isnt into that whole being thrown off a tower thing. Bunch of damn Islamophobes not wanting to be used in extremely rapid deceleration experiments by Muslims.
