These venues shutting down from London to NY & beyond to not air a 20 year old Israeli girl singing in the Eurovision really is a cultish, xenophobic, immoral, racist, dystopian flex. We’re living in a time where the cruelest, most bigoted people genuinely see themselves as light warriors. Our collective consciousness at this juncture is so catastrophically bleak.

Following a massive campaign, yet another LGBTQ venue in London will be shut down for a day to avoid airing Israeli singer at the Eurovision Song Contest. LGBTQ spaces are supposed to be a safe space. Queer spaces are not safe for me as a gay Jewish Israeli. No other people are abused this way. Not Russian gays, not Chinese gays, not Syrian, Iranian, or Qatari gays, not even Palestinian gays from Gaza. Everyone is welcome to celebrate their identity at these spaces. It is only us Israeli gays who are being targeted. London is turning into a dark place.
