7. I think anyone who believes the LGBT community would be "better" with the MB is crazy

No way.

The al Sisi regime is awful on every level, including its actions towards the LGBT folks in Egypt, but the author's attempt to spin the MB's position on this as better isn't plausible.

The military regime simply has more practice cracking down on this than the MB regime had but make no mistake, if the MB had had enough time to sort itself out and get that ball rolling, they would have. I presume we would have seen public beheadings like they do in Iran....

Its all awful. If I were gay or transgendered in Egypt, I'd be extremely terrified and desperate to get out.
