Gay activists continue to boycott only state in Middle East that doesn't execute them

Try this experiment. Pretend you are gay and walk into a gay bar... and ask the gay folks what they think of Jews. Hold your politically correct vizors aside for one second and try a little objective honesty. What does the gay community think of Jews? ...never mind Israel. I've had such brutal moments of enlightenment from the progressive community. The truth is that it wasn't this individual Progressive or Homosexual... it is the bottom line of the entire community of LGBT individuals that is rooted in Anti-Semitism. I was dealing with it my whole life and was told that I was a Homophobe for pointing out the truth... but it is the truth.

(Carl) Gay activists apparently don't know how to tell their friends from their foes. In a region where only one country in the world doesn't execute gays, gay activists have chosen that country to boycott. Yes, of course, it's Israel. Ronn Torossian got it right:

It seems that Jew-haters will always find a reason to hate the Jewish state, and will use something asinine to mask that hatred. Peter Tatchell, a leading gay activist, signed a letter this week criticizing Israel for “pinkwashing,” trying to use the acceptance of LGBTs (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community) as a “smokescreen” of supposed human rights violations of the Palestinians. In a recent letter to the media, activists from the Gay Liberation Front, Stop Clause 28, and others, stated support for the Palestinian “boycott, divestment and sanctions” campaign against Israel. It added that it is “ironic” that Israel, “in an attempt to gain a veneer of respectability by promoting itself as a liberal,” has grown tolerant towards gay people while the “oppressive regime routinely violates human rights.” So, Israel, the sole country in the Middle East which supports gay rights, is also boycotted by the gay activist community.
One wonders what these gay rights activists can possibly know about these supposed human rights violations and the on-the-ground situation in Gaza or the West Bank. Surely, they haven’t traveled or spent time there, because they would know that they wouldn’t be safe with the Hamas/Palestinian government. Of course, they haven’t spoken out about the violence Jews face in these regions. One wonders what justification Tachtell and other gay activists can have to boycott Israel, their strongest supporter in the Middle East. Tachtell’s boycott started a few months earlier when he criticized the IGLYO – the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Lesbian Youth and Student Organization for accepting an invitation from its Israeli chapter to hold its general assembly in Tel Aviv. He was among the first to criticize IGLYO for agreeing to a conference in Israel and said that he “fears that Israel may not be accessible to delegations from Arab countries.” They neglect the fact that Arabs can visit Israel, unlike Jews that seek to visit Arab countries.
Tachtell was successful in having the meeting moved from Israel, despite the fact that there is not a single member from the Arab world on the general assembly of this organization (for obvious reasons). Just as I wonder where the flotilla for peace to Syria is, so too am I amazed as gays and others pretend there’s a reason for hating Israel other than anti-Semitism. The heroic defender of human rights, Martin Luther King said it right when he said, “Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism.”

Don Surber thinks this is about socialism:

Gay rights is about socialism. Maybe Israel’s biggest crime is not so much that it is a Jewish state, but that it is a refuge for so many Jewish Russian dissidents. The Soviet Union may have fallen 20+ years ago, and many people on the left are bitter over its demise.
As for Peter Tatchell specifically, I never met the man and I don’t intend to. I have no idea what he thinks of the Soviet Union. I do know that gay rights is just window dressing for his real agenda. Instead of fighting for the lives of gay Arabs, Peter Tatchell is fighting for the men who would hang them.

I disagree. I think it's about priorities. Jew hatred above all else.

if this post somehow manages to make it onto a hipsters wall on facebook... it will be deleted immediately. hipster you say... is that like artists and bohemians... ahem? They will continue to attempt to take the rights away from heterosexuals (no you have no right to be recognized by the state as a marriage with breeding potential)... but the hate just comes out of the gay communities mouth so easily.
