Pride Parade: Queers Against the Occupation


Come show New York City that there's no pride in
occupation!
From JATO:
Join Queers Against the Occupation (QATO) in the 2005
Heritage of Pride Parade to protest the mockery of
queer liberation by the Israeli occupation of
Palestine. Sexual liberation is incomplete until
everyone is free!

This Sunday, June 26, is Pride March 2005. Queers Against the Occupation (QATO) will be marching with Section 5, the "Bi/Trans/Political Movement/Politicians" contingent.
QATO is scheduled to line up at 11:15 a.m. on West 56th St. between 6th & 7th Avenues.
We Support the call from Palestinian, Israeli Jewish
and international queers to:
Move "World LGBTQ Pride 2006" out of Jerusalem.
Queers won't pit our freedom against Palestinians'
freedom!
* Under Israeli law most Palestinians, including Palestinian queers, are barred from entering Jerusalem.
* Israel has deported queer human rights activists working to end the violent, illegal occupation.
* The violent Israeli military occupation of the West Bank, which violates international law at all times, is tightened and intensified during Israeli
state-sponsored events in Jerusalem.

Tell the organizers of World Pride 2006: move World Pride to a place that welcomes all queers.
