Just pointing out that there are evolving struggles out there that have been going on for centuries compared to the alphabet community, and like the alphabet community it is world wide struggle, Russia is trying to keep Ukraine and her people suppressed to this day.
So... whataboutism? You won't find me arguing against your point if that was the whole 'thing' you were trying to prove. What happened was wrong, IS wrong, and shouldn't happen at all.
However what happens to anyone who is GLBTQIA+ is wrong too. It's wrong, it needs to change. Just because the GLBTQIA+ issues more focus to single or a smaller group of people, does not make it less of a thing to fight for, or against, or just plain wrong.
Why don't you protest Gay rights in the Middle East? Pakistan? There is where you can make some real in roads in non binary rights.
I agree, those places need inroads made. I do protest that gay rights should be legalized. Considering the vast amount of places though...

What, you think my protests are just for people in Canada?
When is the last time Millions of LGBTQ+ persons were starved to death because the Gov. wanted to suppress them?
Most anyone on the GLBTQIA+ avoided being outed as best they could until recent history due to the dangers of being known (depending on where you lived, punishments varied), so there were rarely millions of gay people out in any one place at a time, thus your comment isn't a fair 'proof' that people 'under the Alphabet' didn't have it bad.
How about sent to hard labor camps for owning a farm?
Hard labour/death camps - Nazi Germany; just for existing.
Not hard labour, but jailed or charged just for being gay.
Britain is celebrating the anniversary of the 1967 act, but in fact anti-gay laws were enforced more aggressively by the state after it was passed

Capitol punishment just for gay acts.

And before you throw out some bullshit counter - no, what happened to people for just owning a farm is NOT right either. But you're throwing out the whataboutism so...
Ran away from their homeland because they were Ukrainian and sanctioned to be killed?
Africa; even today there are gay and others having to flee or be killed because of the religious extremism there or because socially being gay is taboo.
Same-sex relations are legal in only 22 of Africa's 54 countries and are punishable by death or lengthy prison terms in some nations, according to a global review https://ilga.org/downloads/ILGA_State_Sponsored_Homophobia_2019.pdf by the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual...

This all happened in my parents lifetime and my Grandparents and Great Grandparents ran away from
And people TODAY are still being charged with crimes, being harassed, killed, exiled from their homes, denied rights, just for being 'on the spectrum'. There are kids, right now, being kicked out of homes for being gay, or beaten up for being gay (even if it's not true, if they just 'look' it) and there are trans people dying for being trans.
So their lives don't mean jack because their situation isn't exactly like Ukrainian lives?
