I've been advocating for gay/lesbian rights for many decades. Survived the 80s and 90s. I believe in equal treatment for adults (L,G,B,+T) but no medical transition for minors. Who's with me on protecting gay/lesbian youth from unnecessary interventions?"

@thatdayin1992 Hmm, what's missing? Oh I know. Hezbollah firing rockets from Lebanon into Northern Israel. If there were no rockets, there would be no Israeli response.

[Avi007🇺🇲🏳️‍🌈 @808SRA]

Gay rights were achieved due to the hard work of gay men and lesbians over the course of many decades. Trans people did not start our movement nor were they instrumental in it. Also, it started long before 1969, when the first gay rights groups were started by gay men, including the Mattachine Society in 1950. The first gay pride (1970) was founded by gay men and lesbians including Craig Rodwell and @FredSargeant

@JennaFights4You Comparing this to the Holocaust is a gross travesty. This is why it is hard to take you seriously.

@Bridget21300204 @timperceval @Palestinedaily1 Actually the US didn't start providing military assistance to Israel until 1973! Israel managed to win all its wars before then without US military equipment.

[Avi007🇺🇲🏳️‍🌈 @808SRA]

@timperceval @Palestinedaily1 Tell that to the 10 million Israelis and to the country with the strongest military in the Middle East.

@BernieSanders You are a disgrace to our people. You are supporting a man who literally has a Nazi tattoo on his chest. What is wrong with you Bernie?

@joekent16jan19 All countries spy on each other. I am sure the USA spies on Israel as well as most of its allies and enemies.

Not an exact moment, but their behavior following the Hamas 10/7/23 attack on Israel has been unacceptable to me. It got me seriously considering leaving the party due to rampant antisemitism. Their embrace of Zohran Mamdani was the straw that broke the camel's back. After 40 years of being a registered Democrat, I am now officially an Independent.

@GoodVibePolitik If she is an Israeli citizen, she can build a home wherever she likes.

[Avi007🇺🇲🏳️‍🌈 @808SRA]

@Palestinedaily1 NO

@BrianTe76700431 @ManySuchCases I used that line once and it completely shut the person down. He didn't have a response since he knew he wouldn't want his sister or daughter to marry a gay man.

[Avi007🇺🇲🏳️‍🌈 @808SRA]

@joshnaa2gez Would you want your sister or daughter to marry a gay man?

[Avi007🇺🇲🏳️‍🌈 @808SRA]

@lesbiancima The community was NOT built on the backs of black trans women. Firstly, Marsha was not trans. Secondly, Marsha wasn't even at Stonewall. Stop the revisionist history. Gay rights were achieved due to the hard work of gays and lesbians over the course of many decades.

@IhabHassane Nuclear strike on Gaza?? That's a load of crap. How could Israel strike Gaza and not harm Israel as well? Have you looked at a map?

[Aaron Paul-David Bisiaux 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @AaronPDBisiaux]

Perfect.

[Avi007🇺🇲🏳️‍🌈 @808SRA]

@NormalGayPsych I was about to say the same thing. Pride flag is fine. Plus when I see a gay, lesbian, or trans person with a Palestinian flag in their bio, I just roll my eyes...another fool! Imagine advocating for people who want you dead.

[Avi007🇺🇲🏳️‍🌈 @808SRA]

@raslebol2026 Totally inaccurate. It is the Palestinian leadership that has rejected ALL 2 state peace deals that have been offered and accepted by Israel. Of course now after 10/7, Israel will no longer be so flexible. The Palestinians have agency and they choose war.

[Avi007🇺🇲🏳️‍🌈 @808SRA]

@PalestinaVence Palestinians who live in Israel aka Israeli Arabs are full citizens with equal rights. Palestinians in Gaza are governed by Hamas. They get their rights, or lack thereof, from Hamas, not Israel. Palestinians in the West Bank are governed by the Palestinian Authority.
