This weekend, at a lesbian march in Chicago, three women carrying Jewish pride flags rainbow flags embossed with a Star of David were kicked out of the celebration on the grounds that their flags were a trigger. An organizer of the Dyke March told the Windy City Times that the fabric made people feel unsafe and that she and the other members of the Dyke March collective didnt want anything that can inadvertently or advertently express Zionism at the event.
Laurel Grauer, one of the women who was ejected, said shed been carrying that Jewish pride flag in the march, held on the Saturday before the citys official Pride Parade, for more than a decade. It celebrates my queer, Jewish identity, she explained. This year, however, she lost track of the number of people who harassed her for carrying it.
Im sorry for the women, like Ms. Grauer, who found themselves under genuine threat for carrying a colorful cloth falsely accused of being pernicious.
But I am also grateful.
Has there ever been a crisper expression of the consequences of intersectionality than a ban on Jewish lesbians from a Dyke March?

Hopefully she learned her lesson that progressives' hatred for Jews/Israel/America overrides all other concerns.
Lol....IDF bulldozers are coming for all you fugly dykes, for real. It's Ms. Butterworth time.
Anti-Semitism on the prog-left is considerably more pervasive than it is on the alt-right.
Leave the animals alone...they are innocent bystanders.

Jews used to be prominent in the Left.
Now, blacks and Muslims want to be in control, which means that the Jews need to be purged from all positions of power, or even visibility. Perhaps Jewish leftists will learn from this, but I doubt it.
BTW, what the heck are they marching FOR? What issues do they want to bring to the public's awareness that we aren't aware of already? Their psychiatric pathology?
From this Jewish perspective, seeing the Star of David in this parade of sleaze is an embarrassment.
It's definitely an embarrassment. But I'm hoping it causes some Left-wing Jews to wake up to the fact that the vast majority of anti-Jewish/Israel sentiment is coming from their fellow travelers on the Left. Evidently that blatantly obviously fact hasn't yet sunk in for most of them.
And this is in a place where the shops still close on Sunday.
