No queer friends in Palestine, I'm guessing. But even if only people in the US deserve life, Biden isn't doing anything to stop LGBQT rights from being dismantled. It will get worse even if Biden wins a second term. If Democrats didn't codify Roe v. Wade when they had the chance, why do you think they will do anything concrete to protect them, when they can use their fear to scare them into voting for them.

Yup, the same dynamic as the right and immigration. More to gain using as a political football instead. The tactics are from the same, cynical playbook, and partisans are happy to play along when it's their team.
