 While I am pro LGBTQ, I feel that LGBTQ rights​ are used by neoliberals and neocons to justify the US and NATO’s imperialism and those neoliberals and neocons are wrong to do that. Imperialism is wrong

For example, Zionists and neoliberals and neocons criticize Palestine for being ‘homophobic’ and for their non gay friendly laws. The neoliberals and neocons use that to justify helping he occupiers (Israel) to oppress (ymmv) the Palestinians. I sort of echo this article

There is no liberation without LGBTQ liberation. However, neoliberals forcing pro LGBTQ policies on homophobic countries is bad because it will make the LGBTQ movement be associated with western imperialism.

This will be counterproductive and cause anti LGBTQ sentiment due to the LGBTQ movement wrongly being associated with Imperialism. This will basically violate the West’s do no harm principal in ways the West never imagined in the global south. 

Let’s hope the US adheres to a strict Do no harm principle so maybe this US LGBTQ imperialism won’t backfire on LGBTQ people and won’t be so blatant

Instead we (the left) should work with our global south allies while accepting they might be homophobic at times. 

We can point out to those homophobes it is wrong to be homophobic in our spaces, but we can’t and should not force them to be better while we do show them that we ( the left) will work with them to fight imperialism and that we accept the LGBTQ community etc
