A Scapegoat.

 

Since the 1980s and the AIDS crisis the right-wing political machine and its religious allies have made a scapegoat of LGBT+ people.

The fear surrounding AIDS made us an easy target.

But that does not excuse deliberate attempts to gain political mileage from using a scapegoat*.

These attempts resulted in the social persecution of LGBT+ people and even damnation by fundamentalist religious groups.

And this continues today with right-wing governments introducing laws that violate the basic rights of LGBT+ people.

In Africa some states have even introduced the death penalty.

Prison sentences for same-sex acts and even for supporting or identifying as gay are becoming common.

The banning of Pride Marches and LGBT+ activism is spreading.

But this is not the end.

The right-wing governments who push this poison will fall.

And we will be free at last.

(*Scapegoating is a Nazi propaganda technique.  It was used to persecute the Jews in Nazi Germany.)

Fascism.

For none now live who remember them."
