not for nothing but saying the institutions / government of a place are homophobic is not saying everyone there is or that queer people don’t exist there. most institutions are homophobic. like, globally.

#case in point the government of the us is homophobic #i will grant that this isn’t exactly what he said and there’s a lot of historical context to why institutions are homophobic and it’s mostly #imperialism and capitalism. he could have been more sensitive but i am also sure he feels that that’s at least part of the reason #i am sure them being out has made it more difficult to find venues. in combination with the content of the show / their videos the fact it’s #2024 and no longer 2018 and the fact that covid happened and has made huge social changes we haven’t fully grappled with yet #and probably has made it more difficult for venues to take risks #anyway this isn’t a defense per se i just think it’s nuanced but i also do not blame anyone for being upset about it to be clear #the situation in general or dan’s statement more specifically
