Gay Pride Marchers With Jewish Flags Told To Leave Chicago Parade

Jewish people celebrating LGBT Pride in Chicago were told not to display Star of David flags because other people found them “offensive.”

The Jewish Star of David flag was banned from the city’s annual Dyke March celebrations, and several people carrying the flag were removed form the march because their presence “made people feel unsafe,” LGBT paper Windy City Times reported.

The Dyke March is described by organizers as being a “more inclusive, more social justice-oriented” march than the city’s main Pride parade.

One marcher, Laurel Grauer, said she was harassed by other Dyke March attendees before being told she needed to leave with her flag. “It was a flag from my congregation which celebrates my queer, Jewish identity which I have done for over a decade marching in the Dyke March with the same flag,” she told Windy City Times. “They were telling me to leave because my flag was a trigger to people that they found offensive,” she added. “Prior to this [march] I had never been harassed or asked to leave and I had always carried the flag with me.” …

What about the millions who find public displays of homosexuality offensive? Who is running these cities?

It appears that the sexually disoriented gayboys don’t like Jews. Sounds like Germany as Hitler was rising to power.

I have to sort-of admire how the socialist masters have engineered causing everyone to fight among themselves...needing government champions to champion their stupid ‘causes’.

Sad thing is, we know exactly who is running them. Mayor DeadFish Emanuel is making quite the legacy for himself.

“because their presence “made people feel unsafe,”


Then they should have gone home and hid in a closet.

If this type of thing makes people feel unsafe we are doomed.

[[Jewish people celebrating LGBT Pride in Chicago were told not to display Star of David flags because other people found them “offensive.”]]

I find the fact that gay people have hijacked God’s rainbow symbol towards mankind offensive- noone gives a crap about what we find offensive obviously- why the hell should we care if a homosexual is offended by the star of David?

I really am curious how many of those enforcing no Jewish flags are also ‘anti fascist’ marchers... I would suspect that 100% of them are and zero percent of them detect even the slightest bit of irony here.

and shouldn’t it say something about a group of people who become ‘triggered’ whenever a Godly Symbol is displayed? That right there should tell you the group of people are driven by evil

So-called “anti-fascists”, if defined as being Bolshevik, hold no dichotomy with their antisemitism, since Marx openly wrote antisemitic screeds.
What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need; self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly god? Money. Very well, then! Emancipation from huckstering and money—consequently from practical, real Judaism—would be the self-emancipation of our time. […]

The monotheism of the Jew, therefore, is in reality the polytheism of the many needs, a polytheism which makes even the lavatory an object of divine law. Practical need, egoism, is the principle of civil society, and as such appears in pure form as soon as civil society has fully given birth to the political state. The god of practical need and self-interest is money.

Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man—and turns them into commodities. Money is the universal self-established value of all things. It has, therefore, robbed the whole world—both the world of men and nature—of its specific value. Money is the estranged essence of man’s work and man’s existence, and this alien essence dominates him, and he worships it.

The god of the Jews has become secularized and has become the god of the world. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange. …
The “ANTIFA” abbreviation, as others have pointed out, would be correctly expanded to “Anti First Amendment”.

These so-called gay pride parades are partisan affairs. It is political activism and cities should not spend one dime of taxpayer funds promoting the Democrat agenda.

Defund the Left. Starve the Beast. Clean house.
