Random Things That Resonate

I’m liberal, but it’s sad to see that my religion is often ignored in intersectional spaces. It’s a problem that should be addressed.

jewish-mccoy:

1. The Chicago Dyke March included everyone–except Jews
   
2. This was because they made people feel “unsafe”
3. People were claiming “pinkwashing”
4. THEY USED THE STAR OF DAVID AS A COMPARISON TO THE SWASTIKA 
5. “Well done Israel–Hitler would be proud” 
   

I hope you all are really proud of yourselves.

So sad to hear that pride marches have banned Jewish pride supporters with rainbow flags with the Jewish star on it (in Chicago) and now an openly gay police chief. There aren’t words to describe how this doesn’t make sense and how wrong this is. Jews were on the forefront of civil rights history and to hear about this happening is just so sad and wrong. I’m still an ally but this does hurt.
