You can’t pink wash this – More than 500 people march as “Queers For Palestine” bloc, reclaiming Berlin’s the Radical Queer March as a space for radical queers committed to feminist anti-racist and anti-colonial politics. | BDS Movement
Berlin’s permissive attitude to drugs and public sex ranks the city on top of those looking for “authentic” queer experiences.
And yet, as Pride events across the globe celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, it was in Berlin during the recent Radical Queer March that organisers called the police on fellow queers who marched as Queers For Palestine – most of whom were queers of colour, migrants and refugees.
We should all be worried about these attempts to repress queers supporting Palestinian rights. We have to ask ourselves hard questions about what queer liberation looks like in an era where we have marriage equality, yet “radical queers” call the police on queers of colour in the name of anti-racism.
