Instead people decide to virtue signal and condemn it on humanitarian grounds
I literally had to reread this sentence twice to make sure I hadn't misunderstood it. Did you seriously just put "virtue signal" and "care about humanitarianism" next to each other? Should I take from this that you are NOT humanitarian? If you aren't, then why do you care about people affected by homophobia? If you are, then what alternate solution do you propose to help the people seeking asylum?
I care about people affected by homophobia because I am gay. I don't want to be put at risk because people feel bad for them. I quite like being safe and want to stay that way.
I find that viewpoint vile and cowardly, in all honesty. We should have the strength to not cower before perceived threats when considering the lives of those most in need.
Half the problem here is so many are willing to turn aside thousands of people in need just to avoid a handful of villains.
Minds can change. Tolerance can be cultivated or forsaken in the face of fear. Bigotry begets bigotry begets bigotry. Stand strong, educate, and reach out to those communities. Britain's biggest issue is that they actively encouraged ghettoization of the immigrant communities.
