NYT Editor Glad Jewish Stars Were Banned At Gay Pride March, But For A Different Reason

Town Hall - Matt Vespa:



Over the weekend, Jennifer wrote about an incident at a gay pride march in Chicago that serves as the classic example of progressives eating their own. Laurel Grauer, a Jewish lesbian, was banned from the event. The Dyke March said that her rainbow flag with the Star of David on it was triggering other participants. As a result, she had to go. The organizer for the march said her flag “made people feel unsafe.”  Oh, and that the event didn’t want to be confused as inadvertently or advertently expressing support for Zionism. Staff editor Bari Weiss is glad that the Dyke March put the kibosh on the Jewish stars, but it’s not for the reason you think. Weiss says it shows the dark side of intersectionality, which is popular among progressive circles. Frankly, the whole theory is rather insane, but let’s have her explain it—and why Jewish liberals are often left out in the cold among their fellow progressive peers. Hint: it has to do with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
