We Need To Talk About Colonialism Before We Criticize International Anti-LGBTQ Legislation

It is important to defend human rights and to speak out against human rights violations around the world. However, to talk about anti-gay legislation internationally, we need to talk about a history of white supremacy that brought homophobia and anti-LGBTQ legislation to various countries.
