The New Tolerance Campaign (NTC), a U.S.-based watchdog organization, announced on Monday a $1 million offer to “Queers for Palestine” or any U.S. LGBTQ advocacy organization to host a Gay Pride Parade in Gaza or Judea and Samaria (aka West Bank).
Israel365News (h/t Victor) “This isn’t a joke. It’s not a publicity stunt. Our offer is real,” NTC President Gregory T. Angelo, who is gay and the former president of Log Cabin Republicans, said in a statement on the organization’s website.
“For the past year we’ve seen so-called ‘Queers for Palestine’ and allied LGBTQ organizations insist that the Palestinian territories are ‘inclusive’ — well, here’s their chance to prove it. We’re willing to put our money where their mouths are to underwrite a Gay Pride Parade in Gaza or the West Bank.”
NTC has secured commitments for the $1,000,000 prize, which is being offered to potential parade organizers. The offer is good for the next six months, until March 16, 2025.
NTC said it had attempted to publicize the campaign with full-page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and USA Today. All three newspapers declined, citing safety concerns. Times Square in New York City also declined to run the ad, saying the buildings displaying it could become targets of violence.
Not to be deterred, NTC began circulating mobile billboards on Monday around Columbia University in Manhattan, the headquarters of the Human Rights Campaign in Washington, D.C. and the University of California, Los Angeles. The mobile billboards will run through Wednesday. Additional dates may be announced.
“The campaign will also allow everyday Americans to send messages directly to the senior leadership of the Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, the LGBTQ Task Force, and Advocates for Trans Equality encouraging them to actually fight for LGBTQ rights rather than taking a political stance against the only gay-friendly country in the Middle East, Israel,” NTC’s website stated.
“This project highlights the lack of human rights for the LGBTQ community in Palestine, while noting LGBTQ people live freely in Israel. It also has the potential to be a breakthrough moment for pluralism and peace throughout the Arab world,” said Angelo.
I’ll raise that amount to $5 million if they can add just one more line to their gay parade placards
“Prophet Mohammed LOVES homosexuals.” 😁😁
Mic drop moment..then crickets…Love it!!! How about a parade of LBJSO+ (I know ..wrong letters but wtf) parade in Gaza televised by all major networks.
Let’s persuade the alphabet crowd to hold a parade in cairs dc office . I am sure niwad and honest Abe hooper would do well in assless chaps while praising Allah . We can only hope that potato faced witch zillo from San Francisco shows up with Linda sansour. lol , these animals
Not THAT would be fun.
I posted the story yesterday to a face book group with a comment that it wasn’t from the Babylon Bee and that readers should notify all the obnoxious gays and tranies they know. Kapo Zuck’s censors took it down and restricted my account — for a day. Hell, they can do better than that. As RD would’ve said, I don’t get no respect.
if I were there in Gaza, I’d hold an LGBTQ Parade
Do you have a death wish?
I presume he is being facetious.
Ohh please do this and the cost for the plane ticket is the smallest part so get ready then the readers of BNI will spend you the ticket and that first class then the entertainment is worth every penny.
Don’t stop with Gaza! Hold alphabet community events in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Yemen too (just to name some examples, of course)!
“Alphabet community” – you’ve saved me from trying to remember those characters. I like it!
