What country are you from? Because, internationally, those with wealth are absolutely much more likely to back conservatives and policy that props up austerity. They stand to benefit financially from deregulation and the continued slashing of social service funds.

Iam from Belgium and here the conservative party =/= as the extreme right party which  they refuse to form coalltions with

Got it. I know next to nothing about Belgian politics, honestly.

Simple, gay rights in the EU are pretty much good and stable, there's marriage and others things, so the LGBTQ+ community is in a weird moment of "we have nothing to fight for", so little by little some gays, mostly those who barely fought for any rights and usually leech on,  are showing their true face and moving out from the left wing parties that fought for their rights...

It's not even a case of "immigrants homophobia" let's be honest..

just out of necessity of compassion, as you have towards your own 'people', you should realize that your own problems aren't everyone's problems, aren't the problems of the majority of the world, & should work towards solving the problems of both sides in a manner that doesn't focus on you & your own side only. you idiot.

If one side doesn't want me to exist or wants to cut back my rights as a citizen I can't support it simply as that. People that support this side position themselves against me that's also simple. If you can't understand that that's your problem. I want to survive and I want to maintain my rights to live a free life without oppression. These parties want to get back to the time where I wouldn't have been even allowed to look at another man funny. Just understand that your animosities towards social problems result in the suffering of countless people.

A very hazardous cocktail of misogyny, racism, toxic masculinity and desperately trying to "fit in". European far-right conservatives mainly gather people with racism and racism within Europe has never been as addressed and analyzed as it has been in the United States. Some of the things people write in their profiles here Donald Trump wouldn't even dare to speak out loud. "No black, no asians, no latinos" is harmless against the sh*t that I have seen on the regular.

Right ... and the csu.  is not much better and the spd forget that they are social ....so the green or the left party is still there so ....only option to vote ...

But is it worth it if your most basic right is being questioned and it’s the right to love anyone you want to? I understand what you are saying but it’s not benefiting you more than making it worse in my opinion because eventually they can give you whatever you want but they will take that one thing that you love away from you

I mean the rights to exist, reproduce, love, get married and have children seem  important enough for most people. 

All I'm saying is it's not the only thing in life to consider so it may explain why some in LGBT may support the party that isn't the most LGBT friendly

 

Plus I don't know the politics of each of these nations but could it also be at times that there isn't that much at stake?

 

Here in Canada for example the conservatives may not be as exited about LGBT rights as the Liberals or promote the rights but removing them is hardly their priority nor do they ever discuss it

 

I can't speak for every country but perhaps some of these parties have priorities that don't involve LGBT right removals

Sometimes these social issues are more important than your other beliefs but if you aren't willing to see this because "I'm not going to let this one issue define myself" then you're part of the problem or at least someone who will not help. Decide but don't be surprised when other people look at you funny.

But it's up to people to decide which issues are biggest to them and in turn who to support...

 

It's not your job to decide for others what the biggest deciding factor in a party should be then tell people they are part of the problem if their biggest deciding factor isn't your biggest deciding factor

 

Here on GGD LGBT rights seems to be 80% of politics discussions but I'm sorry to say in my opinion the world doesn't revolve around that it's merely one big issue out of many and it's not the holy grail of politics

Maybe in Canada, but for example, in France, far right parties want to remove same sex mariage and adoption and that's a priority for them. So yes, in this case, being gay defines your political choices, unless your racism is stronger than who you are.

One of my “friends” did it actually. But it’s only cause he’s miserable and he hates himself and  also cause he’s kinda racist.

Xenophobia and fear of immigration because this is the current target of the alt-right in Europe.

Has immigration in the past decade affected the lives of LGBTQ Europeans?

I'm pretty sure Matthew Shepard's tragedy in 1998 and his family's hard work is one if the biggest reasons for more political awareness of gay issues and big shift into gay equality. Before that most gay men blamed other gay men for the spread of AIDS and so did most of Americans.

My opinion is only an opinion not a fact.
