Bristol Queers for Palestine

Bristol Queers for Palestine are a solidarity network of queer people in Bristol working towards a liberated Palestine.

Heavily informed by Queers in Palestine, we reject pinkwashing: the weaponisation of queer bodies to justify the dehumanisation, colonisation, and genocide of peoples under the rhetoric of 'civilisation' and 'freedom'. We recognise that "[n]o queer liberation can be achieved with settler-colonization, and no queer solidarity can be fostered if it stands blind to the racialized, capitalist, fascist, and imperial structures that dominate us." 

We do fundraisers for people in Gaza, particularly for the families of Bristol-based Palestinians, as well as resisting pinkwashing in our communities and in the streets.
