Greenland Is Queer-friendly, Not for Sale, and Not Impressed by Trump

Jan 21, 2026 | Greenland, the world’s largest island and a self-governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark, has a very small population, and that population includes LGBTQ people. Greenland has marriage equality and very open attitudes toward the Queer community. LGBTQ people feel so safe and integral that there are few designated queer spaces, though the country’s capital or even Copenhagen is available to those who want a more urban feel with more obvious queer spaces.

Speaking of Greenland, apparently, Donald Trump is serious about wanting to take it against the will of the Greenlanders and Danish people, but many of the people in the US aren't really on board with taking over Greenland. A recent poll shows that about 75% of Americans are opposed to the US trying to take control of Greenland. In fact, there's bipartisan opposition to the idea, with some lawmakers warning that using military force could damage the NATO alliance.

Denmark and Greenland's leaders have made it clear they're not interested in selling, saying "Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders" and demanding respect for their territorial integrity. Even some Greenlanders are speaking out, citing concerns about preserving their way of life, including hunting traditions.

It's worth noting that President Trump has been pushing for US control, citing national security concerns and the island's strategic location, but it seems like he's facing significant resistance both domestically and internationally.

Several NATO nations have pledged to defend Greenland, and Trump is threatening tariffs on those nations. Good God, Squad, WTF?
