London Trans+Pride has removed references to the exclusion of Zionists from its social media.

This follows a UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) letter to London Trans+ Pride, early this morning, pointing out that its policy of excluding Zionists was racist, discriminatory and illegal, as well as breaching its own guidelines.

Although there is no positive announcement that Zionists are now allowed at the march it is good to see that such a hateful notice has been removed.

There were many comments from followers of London Trans+ Pride on Facebook, expressing their distress, shock and revulsion at such a racist exclusion. (see previous story).  These comments were also removed by London Trans+ Pride.

A UKLFI spokesperson said:  “We hope that this event goes well and that Zionists who are part of the LGBTQ+ community now feel that they can join in this event, and not be afraid to display their Jewish identity.”
