I see this as a good movement. People will argue that Palestine and Pride are two separate things, and while that may be true, we historically persecuted groups need to stick together.

It’s why Native Lives Matter showed up at the BLM protests. They didn’t say “Oh well, that’s just some other group, not us” because that’s a self-destructive way of thinking.

And if that’s not enough, queer Palestinians are being murdered by Israel. “Well it’s not like Palestine is exactly LGBTQIA+ friendly.” OK, then that’s all the more reason they need our support! Imagine your life is hard already, you struggle to be accepted for being queer, and now someone is dropping bombs on you, starving you, deliberately trying to kill and maim you and your loved ones.

No Pride in Genocide. My word of the day is solidarity, and I will die on this hill.
