Then flags with a brown and black stripe shouldn’t be used either. Jews are an ethnicity which gets discrimination for its ethnicity, not the religion.

Stop excusing antisemites. Just because I came up with a different conclusion, does not mean I did not read the article. The article says they are against the Israeli flag and Jewish Pride flag. The reason why they banned the Jewish gay pride flag is because its literally the Israel flag but with rainbows on it. Jewish symbolism and pride are welcome but Israeli flags are not.

Max 22,044 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 It‘s not okay to discriminate Jews or any other ethnicity. Imo they should ban all the flags at a pride and only use the rainbowflag in general. Because this flag stands for ALL of us. Or they accept it that there are also gay jews out there. I mean wtf we are in 2019 Does this make sense? call me the kg bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you went with the star of David, they would allow it but not the flag that looks like the Israeli flag. So I think its anti semitism but who knows maybe im wrong?

PoshLife 17,019 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 One thing I want to make sure people know is that this is a niche parade, NOT the main pride parade in DC (which is today). I've lived in DC for 13 years and have never heard of the D.C. Dyke March before they made this EXTREMELY unconscionable decision. I look forward to NOT supporting their group. 1 hour ago, Faysalaaa said: Im sure if someone wants to celebrate being a Gay Jew, they would allow it. “This includes Israeli flags, as well as flags that resemble Israeli flags, such as a pride flag with a Star of David in the middle,” march organizer Rae Gaines said.

mic 1,415 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I think involving religion (meaning politics at the same time) is unecessary for pride events. Of course pride is political in its purpose, however these symbols make things more messy. And let's not even talk about the fact that in the name of religion we are witnessing genocide nowadays and these symbols should stay away imho. No negativity hould be present at pride.

It’s not a religious symbol. It’s a symbol of an ethnicity. And there is no genocide in the name of the Star of David or Jews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also politics and religion live in symbiosis one can't tell exactly in whose name it happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katharine Hepburn 4,607 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Pride should celebrate LGBT+ from all walks of life IMO (unless they're racist/homophobic/transphobic of course) If they ban one groups representation they should ban the other xoxo Joanne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
