Walked in a pro Palestine rally in my city's pride event today. I was told a million people turned out. Spent the whole route walking holding my cute ass homemade sign and being cheered at and chanted at so loudly and so supportively by the entire crowd that we kept losing track of what we were trying to do. Thousands and thousands of young drunk queers out fists in the air shouting free Palestine for miles. Honestly walking from the staging area and hitting the wall of crowd and hearing their huge support even after they had already been standing out there for hours was beyond beyond amazing. Something I'll never forget.

I saw 5 Zionists in the whole crowd. All by themselves, not organized at all. 5. All older white people. Imagine standing in a crowd of a million people and being the sole person with your middle finger up at people protesting a genocide. Hilarious honesty.

Anyway the community at this sort of thing is unbelievable. Anyone who says organizing doesn't work is wrong. It was energizing as fuck and we really helped a lot of angry gays have an outlet today in the middle of our big party.

I don't know if I have a point to this it was just fucking cool to see all these young gays out here supporting Palestine. The Dems are totally cooked for directly supporting this genocide.

From the river to the sea. Happy pride everyone. Pride is a protest never forget it.
