NO to pinkwashing
Israel is bombing and killing LGBTQ+ people in Palestine and Lebanon.
“NO to pinkwashing” rejects the tactic of using LGBTQ+ rights to distract from or legitimize violence, occupation, and inequality. Activists highlight how this narrative is utilized by the terrorist state of Israel and the zionist military institutions to obscure broader human rights violations.
The zionist Israeli military and government frequently highlight their record on LGBTQ+ rights to project a progressive, democratic image to the world, while continuing military occupation, displacement, and violence against people in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran, etc.
No Pride in Genocide
Global LGBTQ+ networks have actively organized under banners like “No Pride in Genocide,” pushing for boycotts of Israeli state-sponsored LGBTQ+ events and Pride parades that feature complicit organizations.
“Queens Pride Parade and Multicultural Festival is the second oldest and second largest pride parade in New York City. Found in 1993, it is held annually on the first Sunday in June, in the neighborhood of Jackson Heights on 37th Avenue. We will be celebrating our 34th anniversary of Queens Pride on Sunday, June 7, 2026 from 12:00PM – 6:00PM on 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights!” say organizers on their website newqueenspride.org
