"The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI), a founding member of the #BDS movement, calls for the boycott of #Eurovision 2024.
We urge all participating broadcasters, national competitors, finalists, production crews, and viewers to boycott the contest following the refusal of the organisers, the European Broadcasting Union (#EBU), to ban genocidal #Israel.
Palestinians call on supporters to launch creative, strategic initiatives that can pressure broadcasters to withdraw, and appeal to all participants to refuse to be complicit in the EBU’s whitewash of #apartheid Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million #Palestinians in #Gaza.
Venues and events organisers planning Eurovision screening parties should refuse to do so, and instead hold Apartheid-Free or #Genocide-Free alternative Eurovision events, including teach-ins/workshops/panels about Israel’s cynical #pinkwashing and #artwashing. ..."
Calling for all #LGBTQ#athletes to sign onto this letter calling for #Israel to be banned from the Gay Games for #genocide, modelled after the South African sporting bans of the 80s. Please share widely, even if you can't sign on.
Sport is political, and as athletes and human beings we need to use our platforms as we've been asked to, to create whatever pressure we can to stop the genocide of #Palestine and #IsraeliWarCrimes .
Today, alongside fellow queer community groups, businesses, and individuals, we are publishing an open letter to the leadership of Blue Ridge Pride asking that they cut ties with military contractor Pratt & Whitney.
"We do not believe that Pratt & Whitney, a company profiting from the death of queer Palestinians, has any place at Pride. We do not believe that any company involved in war crimes should be welcome at Pride."
You can read the full letter at https://bit.ly/brp-open-letter. Local queer organizations wishing to endorse this letter are invited to add their names by contacting us.
Queer Palestinians & The Power of Pinkwashing
by matt bernstein (Something Fruity)
"Are “Queers for Palestine” really like “Chickens for KFC”? No, but understanding intersectional justice can be hard, and sharing memes is easy. Joined by Moe Dabbagh, a gay Palestinian American with family currently in Gaza, we Venn diagram gay liberation and Palestinian liberation. They’re less at odds with each other than you’d think."
They realized the #pinkwashing wasn’t #working and instantly shifted gears into literally dressing and acting as hateful gay #stereotypes to make a #video basically just saying #lgbtqia+ #people are terrorist loving antisemites and posting it to the official #israel account. that was so fast
Vous croyez que je peux souscrire à un contrat de prévoyance décès chez LCL avec mon dossier médical ? Parce que la vraie action qu'une banque/assurance pourrait avoir pour améliorer la vie des malades du cancer ce serait leur permettre d'emprunter de l'argent et de s'assurer après #pinkwashing
"The oppositions ... reveal how Israeli heteroactivist discourses invoke familism, pro-natalism, religious sentiments, Zionist narratives, and collective trauma, in their attempts to recentralise the heteronormative Jewish family."
"We provide causal evidence that citizens strategically liberalize their levels of support for LGBT+ rights when opponents of these measures are from the ethnic out-group."
Am Samstag, dem 5. August, ist in Hamburg wieder die Parade des Christopher Street Days und gilt als der größte in Norddeutschland. 200.000 Menschen werden erwartet, doch auch viele Unternehmen nutzen die Parade, um ihr Image aufzupolieren. Doch was meint in diesem Zusammenhang "Pinkwashing"? 🏳️🌈⚧️🏳️⚧️
Viele Hamburger Firmen sind beim diesjährigen CSD, aber stehen sie wirklich für Vielfalt und Toleranz?
the circus that currently performs in finnish government is getting so out of hands that im just waiting for the day it just implodes in on it self like couple billionaires in a submarine.
next: In attempt of #pinkwashing, some members of the far-right government marched in #HelsinkiPride last saturday.
Earlier this year there was a huge scandal because Helsinki Pride announced that NCP and Central party are no longer qualified to sponsor the event. This was because both parties voted mostly against the new #transLaw in the spring. Members of yelled in the news for weeks about this being unfair and claiming their members are now banned from all pride events. #naziJokeGovernment
Whenever people say "the left is always so triggered," remember that one (1) trans woman said she liked to drink Bud Light, so in response, conservatives said they would kill her.
Since it’s almost June, this is your reminder to fuck rainbow capitalism and buy from queer-owned small biz who stock pride merch all year round. 🌈🦄🏳️🌈
If a corporation backs down to the haters it demonstrates that their alleged support of LGBTQIA+ was pinkwashing.
Time for a full boycott
"Target, which rolled out its Pride Collection at the start of May, is pulling some products from its stores after facing customer backlash, saying it was acting to protect employee safety, the company told Reuters on Tuesday."
