D.C. Gay Pride March Bans Israeli Flags, Allows Palestinian Ones

A Washington gay pride parade is banning participants from brandishing Israeli flags, Israeli pride flags, or any "pro-Israel paraphernalia" during its event on Friday.

Yael Horowitz, a Jewish organizer of the D.C. Dyke March, said organizers had decided to ban "nationalist symbols," including flags and banners that represent "nations that have specific oppressive tendencies."

Palestinian flags would be allowed, however, the Forward reported. It was unclear if this was a tacit acknowledgment of Palestinians not having a true state. It was also unclear if organizers were aware of the lack of LGBT protections for gay Palestinians, including the illegality of male homosexual conduct in the Gaza Strip.

Who cares. Why is LGBTQ getting so much attention? They make spectacles of themselves with their "rainbow" attire; something unhinged in the brain pan.

I'm 100% pro Palestine, but if I show up with a Israeli flag what exactly is anyone going to do about it?

Attack you physically while the police turn their backs and can truly say they saw 'nossing' just like Sgrt Shultz in Hogan's Heroes! So go for it, be sure your insurance premiums are paid up!!
