Скачать или смотреть Pinkwashing, Privacy, and Power: Three Muslim Converts Challenge Western Narratives

In this discussion, three white Muslim converts explore how pinkwashing is often used as a political tool to justify imperialism, occupation, and foreign intervention.

We address a difficult but necessary tension:
Islam does not permit same-sex relations, yet it provides a robust right to privacy that historically protected people from state intrusion in ways many modern Western societies no longer do. While Western governments claim to defend “LGBTQ rights,” those same claims are frequently weaponized to excuse war, surveillance, sanctions, and collective punishment.

This conversation challenges the idea that moral superiority belongs to any one civilization. We ask:

Who decides which human rights matter—and when?

How is sexuality used to frame some people as “civilized” and others as “backward”?

Can privacy, dignity, and restraint offer a better model than constant moral policing?

This is not a debate about hate or exclusion. It is a discussion about power, narrative control, and the human cost of imperial justifications, with empathy for those most affected.
