Unmasking Pinkwashing: The Political Hijacking of Queer Liberation

Join us as we unravel the insidious tactic of pinkwashing—the co-optation and exploitation of the LGBTQ+ rights movement as a smokescreen to divert attention from illegal occupation and war crimes. Pinkwashing is a deliberate form of propaganda that allows governments to manipulate public opinion and garner unconditional support by presenting a faux "progressive" image. In this exploration, we'll spotlight the complexities of pinkwashing, especially in light of the ongoing genocide, ethnic cleansing, and colonization of Palestine. We will empower ourselves with knowledge so we can resist these narratives and attempts to co-opt our struggle. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of the solution. Let's dismantle pinkwashing together!
