Back in June, reporter Gretchen Rachel Hammond broke the news that the Chicago Dyke March had kicked out a number of Jewish lesbians for displaying the Star of David. Their excuse was that it was triggering to some people and the dyke march stood for a free Palestine, and they weren’t antisemitic, just anti-Zionist.
In the real world, we call that “new antisemitism.”
The story get so much worse from there.
The award winning journalist got fired shortly after her report on the Dyke March.
It came out today that the organizers of the Dyke March pushed for her firing.
This was the official response from the Dyke March.
I was taught to never hit a woman.
I was also taught to shoot just in case “they” ever came for us [Jews] again.
I’m going to have to figure out where proudly antisemitic lesbians fit into that paradox.
In the mean time, might I suggest a new logo for the Dyke March. I think this is more fitting.
