It seems like a lot of people on the left more closer to the center than here have this obsession with "caring about lgbt rights" only when it is convenient for them. Sure they stand with lgbt people as a baseline, but when someone who follows islam suggests that they can not support lgbt people because it "goes against their relgion" the "left" becomes more supportive of them than lgbt people often times.
The left also calims to be against "islamaphobia" despite the fact that islam is just like any other relgion, and is opressive at its core, should be feared as much as any other religion, and often times used by a lot of bad people to justify a lot of bad things. Now obliviously this is not to say that all Muslims are bad imo (they are not), but more of the fact that as a religion Islam is not a postive thing even if the majority of people who follow it may be fine.
To me it seems like we should be against islam just like any other relgion. Is their some reason islam is special that I am missing?

Why would 'we' be against any religion? How is someone's spiritual beliefs any of our fucking business? Being against the rulers of religions (like the pope) isn't the same as being against the people that follow the religion.
Bullshit. I'm no fan of the 'left' but no leftist tells LGBTQ people to shut up and take oppression from an authoritarian bigot, whatever religion they use to justify their bigotry (Christianity most often). You're just spewing the usual far right talking points from the boring bright-white echo chambers that are insulated from the real world.
All you know about the left is what chucklehead rich white boys that have never had a bad day in their lives meme about the left on voat.
