Fuck it. Do full on parades in every middle eastern country. Find out how tolerant they are.

*“Pinkwashing is the symptom, settler-colonialism is the root sickness. Recognizing pinkwashing as colonial violence can help us understand how Israel divides, oppresses, and erases Palestinians on the basis of gender and sexuality,” according to a 2020 paper by the Jerusalem-based LGBT organization alQaws.*
…
*Five years ago, the Palestinian Authority blocked alQaws from hosting events in the West Bank.*
lmao

I’m Gay and I don’t know how these people can support a group that would most likely kill them if they ever crossed paths with them.

We need more of this. There has been way too much bluffing and not nearly enough calling it. The same thing with tough questions.
I hope someone goes to interview the leaders of Queers for Palestine in person to gather their thoughts on the proposal.

Oh wow, a million dollars. That’s USD, right?

Do they think the money will go to a pride parade I’m genuinely befuddled?

JFC. Talk about a giant waste of money.
1. People outed are likely in danger.
2. Gaza needs medical aid, not parades.
I’d like to point out I fully support the rights of LGBTQ+ people in Gaza …I just don’t think a parade is helpful given the location and circumstances.

Seems like a good way to get some combination of bombed or murdered.

Would need to be the most heavily armed pride parade in history but that would be a hilarious way to rub some salt in

I wouldn’t even step in Gaza as a white man for 1m. No way in hell any LGBTQ member with any brain cells is doing the same.

As a bi person myself this seriously disgusts me. They should try to have a parade in the Middle East and see how tolerable (most) Middle East states are.

Islamic extremists and republicans have so many moral and ethical values in common.

This sure sounds like a stunt, but if I were to accept that this is a gesture in good faith then maybe the act of giving an aid grant without a parade as a precondition would be a better gesture?

I guarantee you if we’ve had a zombie invasion tomorrow, these people would be first in line to create Zombie’s Lives Matter and argue why they should exist and how you too, can be a zombie.

Any culture that supports gay rights is not compatible with middle eastern culture. They are not our friends, and would never support us, even if we supported them.

Don’t discourage them, this is sure to be hilarious

Who from r/tactical wants to kit up and raise a rainbow flag in Gaza with me. I can be gay for a parade for a million bucks.

I’d say do it, but Hamas would just take it like everything else 🤦
