Not sure if you're just looking for a fight, but I'm not comparing. I'm pointing out that the Taliban is not an admirable group. I think praising a group that persecutes lgbtq+ people in an lgbtq+ community is really fucking tacky.

Taliban is a very admirable group in their fight against a foreing invader. If you want people there to have a mentality that no longer condems individuals for their sexuality, they need to develop economically first. I think its naive to belive that an agricultural country set back in development many years by a foreing invasion will have any kind of progressive mindset. And no ecomic development will occur under invasion and war. So if theres any chance for a progressive mindset to come for the people there in the future, its path starts with the fight taliban did, even if they are against it themselves.
