  • This house believes that LGBTQIA+ activists in post-colonial states should promote the narrative that their former colonisers have an obligation to victims of homophobia and queerphobia (e.g. pushing countries to open their borders to all LGBTQIA+ asylum claims and offer significant reparations)

    Infoslide

    Many cultures were often more tolerant of sexual and gender diversity prior to colonization. Former British colonies, for example, are more likely to have laws that criminalize homosexual conduct.

  • This house believes that the queer community should oppose the glorification of white gender-fluid icons (e.g. Harry Styles Ruby Rose Troye Sivan Nico Tortorella Sam Smith etc.)

    Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University Parliamentary Debate 2021 · 5 · 2021-03-19

  • This house believes that the feminist and LGBTQ+ movements should push for the complete abolition of gendered norms rather than the acceptance of those who do not conform to said norms.

    Infoslide

    Gender norms are expectations in society of how people should behave based on their gender. i.e. How people are expected to dress (women are expected to wear dresses men are expected to wear suits) How people present themselves (Makeup being an exclusively feminine product men trying to be more assertive etc.) The abolition of gender conceptualizes a world where behaviour appearance and other expectations are not attached to any gender
