Pro-Palestinian Protests Disrupt NYC Pride March and SF Pride Parade: Arrests and Delays

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators disrupted the NYC Pride March and SF Pride Parade on June 30, 2024. In New York City, about a dozen protesters blocked the route at Christopher St. and Waverly Place in Greenwich Village around 2:45 p.m., sprayed red paint on the parade route and a truck carrying a float, and were arrested by NYPD (New York Police Department). In San Francisco, more than 1,000 LGBTQ people and their allies held an alternative march named 'No Pride in Genocide' at Church and Market streets instead of the official SF Pride Parade. They accused organizers of accepting sponsorship from companies involved in the genocide of Palestinians and decried 'pinkwashing' tactics used by Israel and its allies. Both events delayed the parades, causing inconvenience for participants and spectators.

The NYC Pride March, which started at noon from 25th Street and Fifth Avenue near Madison Square Park in Manhattan, included passing by the Stonewall National Monument, moving north on 7th Avenue, and ending at 16th Street. The theme for this year's event was 'Reflect. Empower. Unite.' Grand marshals for the event were Baddie Brooks, DaShawn Usher, Eshe Ukwell, Michelle Visage, Miss Major, Robin Drake, and Raquel Willis.

The SF Pride Parade had its theme as 'Beacon of Love' and was scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m. PDT on Market Street between Beale and Eighth streets in downtown San Francisco. Actor and singer Billy Porter served as both the celebrity grand marshal and headliner for the parade.

Both events experienced disruptions due to pro-Palestinian protests, causing delays and vandalism. The NYPD arrested 10 people in New York City, while three others were arrested in San Francisco with pending charges.

The San Francisco Chronicle Nora Mishanec Sunday, 30 June 2024 20:33

    • More than 1,000 LGBTQ people and their allies participated in the alternative march supporting Palestinians and opposing corporate sponsorship.

  • Bias (90%)
    The author uses the term 'genocide' multiple times to describe the situation in Gaza, which is a highly charged and biased term. The author also quotes protesters accusing Israel of genocide and using the term 'pinkwashing', which implies that Israel is using its support for LGBTQ rights as a way to deflect from its alleged human rights abuses against Palestinians.
    • Protesters at ‘No Pride in Genocide,’ offered as an alternative to the SF Pride Parade, rally Sunday at Church and Market streets on behalf of Palestinians... Organizers of the ‘No Pride in Genocide’ march accused Pride Parade organizers of accepting sponsorship from companies, including Amazon, that are ‘actively involved in the genocide of the people of Gaza,’ according to a release ahead of the march.
      • They also decried the tactic of ‘pinkwashing,’ accusing Israel and its allies of uniting with the LGBTQ community to demonize Palestinians 'to deflect from the violence, and in this case ongoing genocide, Israel commits against them.'

      Anti-Israel agitators destroy floats at New York Pride parade, block parade route

      Fox News Media Stepheny Price Monday, 01 July 2024 05:14
      • Unique Points
        • Anti-Israel agitators disrupted the New York Pride parade by blocking the route and vandalizing floats.
        • Protesters spray-painted a truck carrying a Pride group during the parade.
        • Dozens of protesters were handcuffed with zip ties by police.
      • Accuracy
        No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
      • Deception (30%)
        The article contains selective reporting as it only reports on incidents of anti-Israel protests during Pride parades and ignores any positive or neutral events that may have occurred. The author also uses emotional manipulation by implying that the protesters are causing harm to the LGBTQ community and using quotes from social media users to further this narrative.

        • The Palestinian protesters in New York are making it clear they don’t want the support of the LGBTQ community.
        • When the left eats itself it is always enjoyable.
        • But we were born out of a protest.
        • Protesters refuse to leave the street despite numerous orders from police to disperse during St. Louis Pride parade on Sunday.
        • Back at the beginning of the month, a large crowd of anti-Israel protesters brought the Philadelphia Pride Parade to a complete halt.
        • About a dozen anti-Boeing and anti-Israel protesters were chained together as they blocked Market Street, delaying the 40th annual St. Louis Pride parade on Sunday, June 30.
      • Fallacies (85%)
        The author uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing the anti-Israel agitators as 'disruptors' and 'agitators', implying that they are causing chaos and trouble. This is an attempt to elicit an emotional response from the reader and sway their opinion against the anti-Israel protesters. Additionally, there are several instances of appeals to authority when the author quotes Sandra Pérez, executive director of NYC Pride, stating 'But we were born out of a protest.' and 'It is certainly a more active presence this year in terms of protest at Pride events.' These statements do not provide any logical reasoning or evidence for the fallacy being presented. Lastly, there are several examples of dichotomous depictions throughout the article, such as 'Free Palestine' versus 'support from the LGBTQ community', and 'anti-Israel protesters' versus 'the support of law enforcement'. These dichotomies oversimplify complex issues and present a false choice for the reader.

        • Protesters refuse to leave the street despite numerous orders to disperse. Protesters will be arrested.
      • Bias (5%)
        The author uses language that depicts the anti-Israel protesters as extreme or unreasonable by describing their actions as 'disrupting', 'vandalizing and destroying floats', and 'blocking the route'. The author also quotes social media users who express enjoyment at the left eating itself, indicating a biased perspective.
        • Another one of the world’s largest Pride celebrations took place Sunday in San Francisco, with thousands of spectators lined up along Market Street. Minneapolis and Seattle also held Pride parades to wrap up the month-long celebrations. Seattle celebrated 50 years of pride with over 300,000 expected to be in attendance.
