Really wonderful critical piece by ⁦History Is What Hurts⁩

Homo Zion — How pinkwashing erases colonial history parapraxismagazine.com/articles/homo-…

'Anti-sodomy laws in Palestine did not originate within Islam or from the efforts of Muslim legislators; they were imposed by prudish British colonial officials [and] were repealed in 1951, over 35 years before they were repealed in Israel proper in 1988.' parapraxismagazine.com/articles/homo-…

“Saving brown women from brown men has long animated imperial misadventures, but when did the brown homosexual become central to such a project?” The only pride essay you need to read: parapraxismagazine.com/articles/homo-…

As people have noticed, this is a marvelous essay, but I want to point out, for special attention, its concluding movement—the mediation of Bersani and Theweleit, which is impeccable.

This, from History Is What Hurts in Parapraxis, deserves all the praise it’s been getting:
