"We should drop Lindsay Graham off right in the middle of Tehran to see if these people really do throw queers off of rooftops. Graham has supported the idea of a U.S. war with Iran for decades, according to The Guardian."
"I'm going back to South Carolina, I am asking them to send their sons and daughters to the Mideast. What I want you to do in the Mideast, my friends, in Saudi Arabia and other places, step forward and say, 'This is my fight too.'"
"Anti-queer conservatives in the U.S., like the current president, often resort to 'homonationalism,' citing Muslim-majority countries' anti-LGBTQ+ policies or their radicals' extremist actions as a pretext for inciting racism, Islamophobia, and violence against Muslims."
"While Iran does have horrific punishments for homosexuality, the current U.S. presidential administration is rolling back LGBTQ+ rights, queer-competent healthcare, and LGBTQ+-inclusive policies nationwide as part of its Christian nationalist agenda."
Stew Peters, a Russia-backed influencer, suggested dropping Sen. Lindsey Graham in Tehran to test anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments. Graham has long supported U.S. military action in Iran. He has faced rumors about his sexuality, remaining unmarried and never publicly identifying as gay. Anti-queer conservatives often use extreme actions in Muslim-majority countries to justify racism and violence. The current U.S. administration is criticized for rolling back LGBTQ+ rights while highlighting Iran's harsh punishments for homosexuality, reflecting a broader agenda of Christian nationalism.
