for your support, Bohunk68. It's always nice when people can assess the situation for what it is, without being contaminated with ideological or ethnic sympathies, as often happens when we turn the magnifier onto Israel.

I'm also LGBT myself, and I appreciate that others from our tribe aren't letting themselves be deceived by pinkwashing propaganda. It is nonetheless interesting to see that, though Israel tries to seduce us, its supporters abuse us with innuendo if we don't respond to their propaganda the way we're "supposed" to. I've also experienced this before.
