Melech 9,900 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 "Three people carrying Jewish Pride flags were asked to leave the annual Chicago Dyke March on Saturday. The Chicago-based LGBTQ newspaper Windy City Times quoted a Dyke March collective member as saying the rainbow flag with the Star of David in the middle "made people feel unsafe," and that the march was "pro-Palestinian" and "anti-Zionist." The Chicago Dyke March is billed as an "anti-racist, anti-violent, volunteer-led, grassroots mobilization and celebration of dyke, queer, bisexual, and transgender resilience," according to its Twitter account. Laurel Grauer, a member of the Jewish LGBTQ organization A Wider Bridge, told the Windy City Times "it was a flag from my congregation which celebrates my queer, Jewish identity which I have done for over a decade marching in the Dyke March with the same flag." "They were telling me to leave because my flag was a trigger to people that they found offensive," she added. Another participant asked to leave because of a Jewish flag was Eleanor Shoshany-Anderson. "The Dyke March is supposed to be intersectional. I don't know why my identity is excluded from that. I felt that, as a Jew, I am not welcome here," she told the Windy City Times. In January 2016, a Shabbat service and reception for Jewish participants at a gay activism conference in Chicago, hosted by A Wider Bridge, was disrupted by hundreds of protesters who chanted "Hey hey, ho ho, pinkwashing has got to go.” Pinkwashing is the term used to describe alleged efforts by Israel to cover up its treatment of Palestinians by touting its strong record on gay rights. Social media support for the decision to remove the three participants from Saturday's march also claimed that their flag was a form of pinkwashing." http://www.haaretz.com/us-news/1.797650 Don't you love Social Justice Warriors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarryTheKnight 2,181 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Shameful. Everyone should be accepted at Pride. Not the time or the place to discuss Israel-Palestine relations. just like how in Toronto, BLM had the Toronto police banned from having their traditional float. And then after all that, BLM still didn't participate. Funny how other minorities always have to push their agenda when it's not about them instead of being unequivocally supportive of other subjugated groups.

MarryTheKnight 2,181 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 This actually makes me upset. Pride is so beautiful and belongs to everyone. Seeing LGBT, straight people, white people, POC, Jews, muslims, etc celebrating love and being happy is honestly so pure and heartwarming. Would never want anyone to not feel accepted at an event like pride. In the last few years seeing people I know who aren't even apart of the LGBT go and celebrate (yes including straight men) is such an important part of making the world more accepting for everyone.

DelusionalGaga 29,734 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Is dyke a common term? I always thought it's a derogatory word for lesbian, so seeing this made me curious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were just gay jews sure, but this is a political move, and it's obviously working. Good for Israel I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
