However, even though in my country things aren't this bad, I can definitely see the ~queer mindset~ among several lgb(tq) people here. A considerable amount. On the other hand, there are still lots of people, including LGB people, who are TOTALLY unaware of what's happening.

This really describes the current scene, for my country too.

I'm more optimistic than you, though. I'll always be pro-LGB. Even though some of them are buying into homophobic narratives right now, I have empathy for them, because they went through similar struggles. LGB people suffered a lot in homophobic societies, so when somebody says "you have to support this homophobic mindset or we'll kick you out of the only space that embraced you", it might be hard for them to take a stand.

Thank you for your answer! Yes, I understand where youre coming from. However, having no lesbian spaces left, it makes me really bitter. I just want them to fuck off lol.

Yeah, I totally agree. I'm a very introspective guy, and years ago I could go to some gay spaces to talk with my peers and find support. Nowadays apart from the TQ+ issues there is too much negativity. It's almost like some guys think that they can only get attention when they mock and demean other gay men, and this isn't the type of space I want to be in.
