speaking as an american: can people in america/canada/europe/even australia and nz stop acting so surprised when a country in latin america, asia, or africa pass a landmark LGBT rights bill??? seeing comments like “WHAT???? uruguay is more progressive than MY country???” or “are you joking?!?! TAIWAN approved gay marriage before MY country???” really grinds my gears.
when you make incredulous comments like “WHAT???? the first country to include LGBT rights in its constitution was in AFRICA!?!?!? AFRICA!?!?!?!” you sound like you can’t possibly believe that cultures of color CAN be progressive, or “better” at preserving/granting civil rights than white cultures, because you believe that white cultures are the epitome of progress and liberalism. which is a colonialist point of view.
you don’t sound supportive of the LGBT people living there, you just sound like a jealous racist. just be happy for the people in that country who just had a new avenue for self expression opened to them by the law, and work on creating change in your own country. period.
