There are quite a few LGBTQ folks in Orlando who support Palestine’s right of self-defense, as all people have the right to defend themselves from aggression, domination, and genocide. We ourselves are facing calls for genocide here from scumbags like FL Governor “DeathSantis,” Texas Governor Abbot, and some of the Christian nationalists pushing Project 2025 and backing Trump.
The Oct 18 Orlando Pride festival unlike the parade was in a closed-off, checkpoint-controlled Lake Eola Park.
At least one person in a kuffiyeh was expelled from the festival by police and others were denied entry. No idea if this is the work of Pride organizers, or the work of Lake Eola’s management. The latter has a known and vicious beef against any and all pro-Palestine activists
