Or are you defending the human rights of other privileged people just from your privileged position?
This year, the theme of Helsinki Pride is "Pride without borders", but there is no pink door in the apartheid wall.

“There’s no pride in genocide.
Pride month conveniently comes in June during the ongoing genocide in Gaza & after the 76th anniversary of our on-going Nakba.” ➡️

The genocide of Palestinians made by occupier israel has now continued for 603 days and 77 years.
Don't celebrate Pride with supporters of genocide. Don't buy products from the genocide supporters.

It is a feminist issue.
A racial justice issue.
An environmental issue.
And a queer issue.
And needs support & action of the global community.
My only pride is being Palestinian.”

We will not allow the occupation to weaponize our sexualities against us.” ➡️

There is no pink door in the apartheid wall that ”saves” Palestinian queers.
There are no sensors to detect & protect queer Palestinians from IDF bombs.” ➡️
