The fact that Jews are banned from PRIDE is a clear act of discrimination, and that's bolstered by their reasoning.

They argue Jews must denounce Israel and Zionism to be included and that these Jewish organizations haven't done so to the level that satisfies them.

This demand for loyalty pledges and denouncement isn't new. This is what was demanded of Jews in Spain during the inquisition, and more recently in the Soviet Union when Jews were accused of secret loyalty to Israel or a Jewish Cabal.

If you are a Queer non-Jew and you care about inclusivity, you must take this opportunity to stand by your Jewish siblings for their rights. Be an ally.

@serge On the other hand, as a NYer, this feels like payback for the YEARS the Salute to Israel parade banned and vilified CBST and other Gay Jewish groups

Queer people have been ostracized and banned from participating in absolutely anything and everything, not just Jewish queers (here's lookin' at ILGO). It isn't "payback" for queers to ostracize their fellow queers it is abominable and shameful. I don't think we would have "Pride" without our Jewish queers (RIP Larry Kramer) so I find this situation extremely dangerous and frightening. A purity test for queerness is absolutely diabolical.
