Austin Pride meets with Palestinian advocates, commits to steps forward
KXAN ^

Posted on 08/11/2024 7:17:49 AM PDT by Levy78

Austin Pride said Saturday evening that it met with community leaders to discuss recent controversy over how it selects sponsors and allegations that it banned the Palestinian flag and pro-Palestinian symbols, according to a social media post.

In that post, Austin Pride said it met with leaders from the Austin For Palestine Coalition, Jewish Voices for Peace and other local community leaders.

“We acknowledge that we made a mistake and want to clarify that symbols of Palestine or pro-Palestinian liberation are not antisemitic or anti-Jewish,” the post reads. “We deeply regret how we handled this situation and sincerely apologize for the harm caused. We are saddened by the spread of anti-Palestinian rhetoric that has impacted queer, Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, Jewish and other communities.”

The queers bending over for their Muslim masters. Every homo’s desire is to be dominated by a hairy-backed muj.

Ha! Send these idiot homosexuals to Gaza or directly to Iran

They’ll love it there (if they’re the passive types) 24 / 7

The gay group is humbly submitting to the Palestinian fanatics. A display of weakness. That’s the exact opposite of what they should be doing when faced with blatant disrespect. What happened to all that “Pride”?

It’s just as Bibi said a few weeks ago, it’s like a bunch of eagerly Chicken’s running to help KFC make it’s product!

I think it is cute that they believe playing nice with the Muslims will spare them any grief in the future.

How about a drag queen story hour for Palestinian children. With gay flags and Palestinian flags.

Palestinian symbols are not terroristic when they are just the secondary symbols of HAMAS and FATAH? They all should be recognized as terrorist organizations, flags illegal or bearers shot on sight.

“,,where everyone would be welcomed.” Uhh, not a snowball’s chance in ‘Ell. Unless you parrot the commie trash crappola you will be driven out. That is how leftists always behave. Always have, always will.

Anyone “experiencing” otherwise was not paying attention.

Palestine or pro-Palestinian liberation are not antisemitic or anti-Jewish,” the post reads.

If true why did they celebrate the rapes, murder, beheadings, burning alive, a child put in an oven alive to die, sexual mutilation, sexual torture of women and men alike, kidnapping, etc. of Jewish citizens in Israel?

UT is an indoctrination center, like most universities.
Send kids to trade schools
I have long said this
Parents are surprised when their kids come home and tell them they hate them because they are capitalists
Commies destroying us from within like they said they would, give us your children for two generations ...

“We hope that this weekend and in the future, Austin Pride can be a space where everyone is welcome. We look forward to seeing you there!” concludes Austin Pride’s statement.

Everyone but Jews apparently. I never, ever, equated gays with stupidity but I’m beginning to waiver on that.

Initially, I thought that “Austin Pride” was the name of a wrestler…whose signature move is the rear naked choke.
