Why should we give aid to African and Middle Eastern countries when they persecute LGBT people?

I say let them die!

You are aware there are LGBT people there and you not giving aid will harm them too?

@basilfawlty89 We should give them an exit.

Here's the thing though. Many of the authoritarian regimes came to power with western influence and the west wasn't always so tolerant. See Oscar Wilde and Alan Turing.

@basilfawlty89 Indeed. My point is that LGBT people in Western societies should petition their governments to stop supporting these regimes and keeping these societies afloat.

@Einstok I wholly agree with not aiding the regime but see no issue with charitable organizations.

@basilfawlty89 I do. Cut them off. Let them marinate in their own hells.

@Einstok so you want nom homophobic people and LGBT people to suffer too then? Because that will affect them.

@basilfawlty89 I want LGBT people to be given an exit into countries where they won't be murdered.
