Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

It's just more pinkwashing imo. Between this and the French banning their athletes from wearing the hijab, it's all completely cynical. With the genocide in Gaza, I can't help but feel this will be weaponized against Palestinians because let's face it, the average person who sympathizes with the Palestinians will be both outraged by the banning of the hijab and completely turned off by the queer parts of the ceremony. This is continuing the process of queer people being weaponized as a tool of Western imperialism and reactionaries using anti-imperialism as an excuse to be queerphobic. And the biggest joke in this tragicomedy is that the West isn't even that good for queer people either.
