Why do anti-imperialist movements in the Global South tend to see queer folk as enemies rather than fellow oppressed people? (Not saying all are like that, but why don't we see that many radically pro-queer movements in the Global South)

Mixture of organized religion enforcing rigid gender & sex norms, imperialists exporting their own prejudices to colonized peoples, indigenous reactionaries who are often bankrolled by the West, and of course the self-described "free world" bombing countries allegedly for not being woke enough (actually because they want their resources) and thus tarnishing the image of marginalized people.
