Queer Activists Call on Larger LGBTQ Community to Condemn Israel’s Genocide in Gaza

HeadlineJun 04, 2024

Here in New York, as Pride Month gets underway, hundreds of queer activists took to the streets and staged a die-in, calling for a ceasefire and an end to U.S. funding for Israel. Activists are demanding mainstream LGBTQ+ groups like Outright International speak out against the war.

In Bonn, Germany, protesters interrupted a U.N. climate conference ahead of November’s COP29, holding up a banner that read, “No business as usual during a genocide.”
