Hello , So coming from India here many gay people support the conservative right wing party BJP , so much so that , today a conservative queer activist said that despite of the left fighting for our rights , they have made queer people just a tool for their leftist propaganda , I wonder if these people be considered class traitors ?

    Tbf, sometimes their class interests trump their queer interests (e.g. one could imagine a gay landlord). Whether you want to call the latter community a “class” I feel like is a semantic argument traps you in a silly conversation.

    (I know a trans tech business owner who is very pro-israel and seems to be a libertarian. She seems lost mostly, but her economic interests seem to outweigh her trans solidarity. Idk if calling her a class traitor specifically would really change anything)

    Edit: not to be class reductionist
