Then your ethics are culturally relative & the principle 'stand for LGBT equality' doesn't really exist.

Not so much a lack of knowledge but a fear of imposing western values on non-western cultures & that this is a kind of colonialism.

Well-intentioned but in practice leads to failing to support the liberals of that society coz no consistency.

Supporting the liberals of another society seems like a good thing to do as a cultural relativist. It is quite consistent with that idea.

How? I am a liberal. I support liberals everywhere regardless of culture. Opposite of cultural relativity

Cultural relativity: I am a liberal and I know what that means where I live. I have to defer to others for assessing morality abroad.
