more details » Queering Solidarity: Outtakes from Homonationalism and Pinkwashing at CIIS CIIS, Mission St. between 9th and 10th Street Room 304 Thursday 18 April 2013, 19h00 till Thursday 18 April 2013, 21h00 Organized by : Bay Area Queers for BDS http://www.wherevent.com/detail/Bay-Area-Queers-Queering-Solidarity-Outtakes-from-Homonationalism-and-Pinkwashing This evening will present curated short films and outtakes from the conference "Homonationalism and Pinkwashing" held at the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS) in NYC in April. A conversation about the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement (BDS) will take place, along with a facilitated discussion on Palestine, Homonationalism and Pinkwashing. We hope to spark a conversation in the Bay Area on queers and allies' support for BDS, on ending pinkwashing and building a movement of direct support for Palestinian queers. All are welcome. * BDS - In 2005, Palestinian civil society issued a call for a campaign of Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights. A truly global movement against Israeli Apartheid is rapidly emerging in response to this call. http://bdsmovement.net/ * Homonationalism occurs when sub-sectors of specific gay communities achieve legal parity with heterosexuals and then embrace racial and religious supremacy ideologies. Homonationalism is increasingly present in Nationalist ideologies across the globe, as secular right-wing forces increasingly leave anti-gay politics to organized religion. * Pinkwashing is a practice by which a government points to or exaggerates gay rights in order to present itself as progressive. This practice of obscuring or "whitewashing" racial or religious oppression with claims of "gay rights" is called PINKWASHING.
