The LGBT movement is currently being consumed by the antisemitic “pro-Palestine” movement, to the point that even the biggest champions of the former now find themselves as targets of their left-wing base.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was booed at a New York City “Pride” parade on Sunday by the gathered left-wing activists. On its face, this would seem like the kind of crowd that would be most accepting of Schumer. As Schumer told his hecklers, “I was the first senator to ever march in this parade, in 1999. And I haven’t missed one yet.” No element of the Democratic Party coalition has a bigger ally in Schumer than the LGBT “community.”
But the Democratic Party is being overrun by the Palestinian movement, and Schumer is a Jewish Democrat who criticizes Israel but doesn’t openly celebrate or defend Palestinian terrorism the way the party’s activist base does. This is especially true in New York City, where communist Islamist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s endorsed candidates dominated the city’s primaries last week. As one Mamdani ally said, “Palestine is on the ballot” in New York, and Schumer’s long support of the LGBT movement isn’t going to help him anymore.You could argue that booing Schumer is just the result of generic dislike of the Democratic establishment, but you can’t argue the same thing for Scott Wiener, the state senator who is the favorite to fill Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) seat in Congress. Wiener’s greatest hits include reducing criminal penalties for knowingly exposing someone to HIV, turning California into a “sanctuary state” for the medical mutilation of “transgender” children, putting male prisoners in women’s prisons, and inadvertently aiding the sex trafficking industry by decriminalizing loitering with intent to commit prostitution. Wiener did all of those things under the pretense of helping the LGBT “community.”That was not enough to protect him, though, as he was harassed away from a transgender march by antisemitic activists screaming at him and accusing him of having Israeli handlers. Wiener has even adopted the pro-Palestinian accusation that Israel is committing “genocide” in Gaza. But he is a Jewish Democrat who was late to adopt the movement’s line, and so he remains an enemy of the “pro-Palestine” movement.
