The has pulled out of Capital Pride because of a pro-Palestinian statement made by Pride. This betrayal of Palestinian and q***r community members is so shocking and harmful that I’m struggling to find the words. Please know that you’re not alone. Other peoples’ hate does not define you. You are loved and seen. You will find a community that appreciates you and protects you. This is your destiny. I’m so sorry.

Pictured is a post from Beisan’s (much more active) twitter account: To all the Palestinian and LGBTQIA+ folks in the : I see you.

I am so sorry that you have been betrayed in this way. I promise you that there’s a whole world out there that loves and appreciates you in all your wholeness and beauty. Please don’t let their hate define you.

It’s keffiyeh day every day when you’re Palestinian. I love the print of our people. It’s unmatched.
