    I have genuinely met people who claimed that LGBT Rights are “Wrong, because it forces Western values on other cultures and are therefore imperialist.”

      Me too, I’m unfortunately even related to some, it’s not great.

      Anyone on the train on LGBT rights being ‘western decadence’ or imposing over other cultures has actually internalized the (misogynist, homophobic, transphobic) social order imposed by western colonization and industrial-era “westernization” is the natural/traditional way of things. Westernization for many colonized countries meant importing or reinforcing a more misogynist order as that kind of hierarchy was more compliant with capital.
