#LGBTQ activists came together to march as a #Palestine contingent for the first time in the history of the #QueensPrideParade on June 7; this is the story of the contingent that neither mainstream (corporate) media nor even LGBT media outlets covered:

New Queens Pride's leadership's public support for #ApartheidIsrael & its #GazaGenocide prompted #LGBTQ API & POC organizations to form a #Palestine contingent in the #QueensPrideParade (6.2.24); this is an explanation of the origins of the contingent:

I marched with the Queens Pride House contingent in the #QueensPrideParade nine years ago yesterday — my last #QueensPride as QPH executive director (the organizations are unrelated despite the similarity in names) (6.7.15) (photo by Rodrigo Photography) #LGBT #LGBTQ #NewYorkCity

Queens Queers for #Palestine will be group #118 meeting up in the Plum section on 89th St. between 34th & 35th Ave. in Jackson Heights between 11-11:30 a.m. this morning to march in the #QueensPrideParade this afternoon:

Heritage of Pride banned cops from marching in uniform in the #NewYorkCity #LGBT #Pride March; #QueensPride's Danny Dromm & David Kilmnick welcomed #EricAdams & uniformed members of the #NYPD four years ago this week (6.5.22) & repeated the welcome to the NYPD at the 2026 #QueensPrideParade (6.7.26)

"As [NYC police commissioner Jessica] Tisch & the weapons-bearing officers marched, a group of protesters, holding signs stood by the side reading 'No Pride in Genocide,' 'Zionism = Terrorism' & 'Silence = Death,'" reports GCN of Sunday's #QueensPrideParade:

#Palestine made its début in the #QueensPrideParade on Sunday; thanks to Hell Gate for being the only media outlet to cover the pro-Palestine contingent, which included
@TarabNYCorg, @GAPIMNYorg, @qwavenyc, @SALGANYC & the Caribbean Equality Project:

I've revised & updated my post about our contingent in the #QueensPrideParade protesting #ApartheidIsrael & its #GazaGenocide & call for the fascist regime to #FreePalestine from illegal & genocidal occupation (6.7.26)

Javier Soriano (@javiersoriano.bsky.social) has documented the first #Palestine solidarity contingent in the #QueensPrideParade on Sunday as we marched to demand an end to #ApartheidIsrael's #GazaGenocide & illegal occupation; thanks, Javier~! #FreePalestine

GCN doesn't mention the first #Palestine contingent in the #QueensPrideParade but does quote someone saying "it's very important for me to be here, because there are queer people in #Gaza who are being bombed who don’t get to benefit from this...":

HOP banned the #NYPD from marching in uniform in the #NewYorkCity #LGBT #Pride March but Danny Dromm & David Kilmnick welcomed #EricAdams & uniformed police to march in the #QueensPrideParade three years ago (6.5.22); how is this remotely progressive...?

I explain here for the first time the origins of the #FreePalestine contingent in the #QueensPrideParade that took place earlier this month under the direction of a #Zionist supporter of #ApartheidIsrael & its #GazaGenocide (6.2.24)

I walked 4 miles (6.44 kilometers) in Jackson Heights on Sunday — two miles in the queer API Palestine contingent in the #QueensPrideParade challenging #QueensPride's support for #ApartheidIsrael & its #GazaGenocide (6.2.24)

@TarabNYCorg led a large & enthusiastic queer POC contingent in the #QueensPrideParade on Sunday — centering #Palestine in an event directed & controlled by a #Zionist supporter of #ApartheidIsrael & its #GazaGenocide (6.3.24)
