More than 1,000 anti-Israel activists boycotted the San Francisco Pride Parade on Sunday, taking part in an alternative march to express solidarity with Palestinians in the war launched on Oct. 7 by Islamic extremist Hamas terrorists.
Organizers of the alternative parade included Jewish Voice for Peace, which has a history of supporting Palestinian terrorism.
of San Francisco Chronicle report:
More than 1,000 LGBTQ people and their allies boycotted the San Francisco Pride Parade on Sunday afternoon, staging an alternative march in support of Palestinians and protesting politicians and organizations they accuse of siding with Israel during its war with Hamas.
…Organizers of the “No Pride in Genocide” march, whose sponsors include the Brass Liberation Orchestra and Jewish Voice for Peace, said in a statement ahead of the march that they accused Pride Parade organizers of accepting sponsorship from companies “actively involved in the genocide of the people of Gaza,” including Amazon.
They also condemned the tactic of “pinkwashing,” accusing Israel and its allies of uniting with the LGBTQ community to demonize Palestinians “to distract from the violence, and in this case, ongoing genocide, that Israel is committing against Palestinians.”
Homosexuality is illegal in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Authority-controlled West Bank. Israel is the only country in the Middle East that does not persecute gays and holds its own Pride parade.
Three Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers participated in a Pride event in New York this week that was temporarily halted by pro-Palestinian protests. Said of New York Post“Queer people cannot exist in Gaza.”
