Organizers of the New York Dyke March, one of the largest LGBTQ Pride events for women worldwide, have announced that anyone identified as a “Zionist” will not be allowed to participate in this year’s march, scheduled for June 28.
Once again, “Zionists”—and let’s be clear, that means Jews—are being ostracized and excluded.
It’s alarming that the LGBTQ community isn’t pushing back against this. A community founded on inclusion and acceptance now has factions that want to exclude an entire group of people.
The march didn’t ban Russians after the war in Ukraine. They didn’t ban Americans after the Iraq War. They didn’t ban Syrians during the civil war. They didn’t ban Iranians for their oppression of women or for hanging thousands of young people.
And they didn’t ban Palestinians for executing gay men in Gaza and the West Bank, like Ahmad Abu Marhia, 25, who was beheaded for his sexuality.
But they have no problem banning Jews.
Well, I’m a liberal gay Zionist Mizrahi Jewish Israeli man. And I’m proud of every one of these identities.
I won’t hide any of them to fit into a march that claims to be inclusive.
Yes, it's inclusive alright:
Any person who identifies as a dyke is welcome to march regardless of gender expression or identity, sex assigned at birth, sexual orientation, race, age, political affiliation, religious identity, ability, class, or immigration status.
Just not Jews.
