LGBTQ people are pushing Pride events to reject pinkwashing, endorse BDS and show solidarity with Palestine.

      me i do i think it’s cool that these leaders are fighting for human rights across the gamut and i appreciate reporters that identify and celebrate this action

      solidarity

      in the fight for a free Palestine the “your identity would get you killed in Gaza” has been used as a pro-Israel pro-genocide weapon and erasure of of queer Palestinians. it is objectively good for queer leadership to align itself with other instances of human rights activism.

          you’re not.

          encyclopedia britannica definition of “intersectionality”

          involvement between feminism and pride

          involvement between BLM and pride and another

          involvement between the anti war movement and pride

          involvement between the civil rights movement and pride

          and there are more. you should ask yourself why you think you have the right to pick and choose what movements Pride relates itself with.

              some of these movements you deride are as old as or older than you, and all of them have been mutually beneficial.

              the “disingenuous and sickening” position is yours, unfortunately. i don’t have the resources to help you through this but i hope you can start to learn from this conversation.

      Vastly more people care about the article more than your uninformed opinion that contradicts reality
