His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

However, the nonprofit’s \u003ca href=\"https://sfpride.org/press-releases/statement-from-san-francisco-pride\">June 4 statement\u003c/a> asserts that “SF Pride’s sponsors, corporate and otherwise, have no influence over the content of our programming or the stance of the organization … Receiving corporate funding and paying it forward to our community reflects our mission to center queer people and is not tied to any programming decisions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palestinian artist Yaffa A.S., Ganuush’s drag daughter and executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.themasgd.org/pride-toolkit\">Muslim Alliance for Sexual And Gender Diversity (MASGD)\u003c/a>, said this statement rings hollow for her.

As part of her work with MASGD, she has created a \u003ca href=\"https://www.themasgd.org/pride-toolkit\">Pride Toolkit\u003c/a> to challenge official parade organizers across the country on their stances on the war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Yaffa A.S., Pride’s funding cannot be separated from its sources. “Our lives do not matter when you are receiving money from the same people who will kill me,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11990416\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11990416\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240614-YaffaASEdits-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1371\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240614-YaffaASEdits-04.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240614-YaffaASEdits-04-800x571.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240614-YaffaASEdits-04-1020x728.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240614-YaffaASEdits-04-160x114.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240614-YaffaASEdits-04-1536x1097.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Palestinian poet Yaffa A.S. was one of the lead curators of the memorial ‘In Solidarity: Queer and Trans Artists for a Free Palestine,’ which opened on June 7 at SOMArts in San Francisco.

She pointed to actions and statements that Jewish Voice for Peace — a pro-Palestinian, anti-Zionist Jewish advocacy group — has issued against JCRC in the last eight months, which include criticizing JCRC Bay Area for “\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/C3eHX4BLkgI/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D&img_index=2\">running a cancellation campaign\u003c/a>” against pro-Palestinian advocates. SF Pride’s statement, she said, “basically try to put out there that ‘the trans Palestinian [referring to Mama Ganuush] does not know what they’re talking about.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their June 4 statement, Ford and Pham said that SF Pride “welcomed and continue[s] to welcome pro-Palestinian groups to the SF Pride Parade,” suggesting that interested groups could join the parade’s Resistance Contingent with the SF Pride Board or request a fee waiver to have their own float. SF Pride did not respond to KQED’s questions about whether such contingents had indeed requested to appear in the parade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if some, we’ll say, ‘well-intentioned allies’ will try to do a Palestine float on their own,” Yaffa A.S. said. “But I think, from our end, we’ve told people not to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Policing at Pride\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The issue of police being present at Pride — including as participants in official events — has been a decadeslong point of contention, especially for queer people of color who police officers have targeted. Ganuush’s boycott proposal invoked the origins of Pride in the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, which started when patrons \u003ca href=\"https://guides.loc.gov/lgbtq-studies/stonewall-era\">pushed back against a police raid at a gay bar\u003c/a>. A police presence at Pride is an active contradiction, Ganuush wrote, to the “foundational anti-police-brutality ethos of Pride.”[aside label=\"More Coverage\" tag=\"pro-palestinian-protest\"]According to \u003ca href=\"https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/lgbq-people-six-times-more-likely-than-general-public-to-be-stopped-by-police/\">a 2021 study by UCLA\u003c/a>, queer people are six times more likely than the general public to be stopped by the police, with “heightened risk” for transgender women of color. At a 2020 SF Pride march, police officers raised their batons at \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11826511/police-raise-batons-at-sf-pride-marchers-oakland-passes-torch-in-solidarity\">a group of SF Pride marchers and Black Lives Matter protesters\u003c/a>. In 2022, marching queer police officers were asked by SF Pride organizers \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11917710/sfpd-officers-to-march-in-pride-amid-complicated-feelings-uniform-compromise\">not to wear their uniforms\u003c/a>. Recently, police officers have also been criticized for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11984845/pro-palestinian-protests-on-california-college-campuses-what-are-students-demanding\">their intense crackdowns on pro-Palestinian student protesters\u003c/a> on college campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For its part, SF Pride said it has never called for an increased police presence. “The City of San Francisco required increased police presence in the wake of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016 and again after the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting in 2019,” the \u003ca href=\"https://sfpride.org/press-releases/statement-from-san-francisco-pride\">June 4 statement\u003c/a> reads. “SF Pride and San Francisco’s other large events do not dictate law enforcement responses and security strategies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JCRC CEO Gregory said his organization was worried about their float being targeted and was working with SF Pride to discuss security. Gregory pointed to \u003ca href=\"https://phillypride365.org/\">Philly Pride\u003c/a>, where pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the parade — an action which he called “\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/tyegregory/status/1797412053386457119?s=46&t=7BBzFwo6eYLzJIVfAlumEQ\">homophobic and transphobic\u003c/a>” on X. (As reported by queer online news site Them, these \u003ca href=\"https://www.them.us/story/lgbtq-activists-are-disrupting-pride-events-for-palestine\">pro-Palestinian protesters were themselves part of the LGBTQ+ community\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gregory said that JCRC “wants to be deferential to SF Pride, and also to queer communities of color as to how security can work.” He added that “we have Jews of color that are going to march with us that have the same concerns as queer people of color.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Do I turn down this gig?’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Even before this year’s calls for a pro-Palestinian boycott of SF Pride, some artists planned to avoid official SF Pride events — and turn down paid performance opportunities — due to the organization’s stance on the war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a really hard ethical thing for drag performers and queer entertainers. … Do I pay my rent this month, or do I turn down this gig?” said Mama Celeste, the executive director of Oaklash, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13957872/oaklash-drag-festival-oakland-lgtbq-events-2024\">a drag festival based in Oakland\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King LOTUS BOY, an Oakland drag king who serves on the Oaklash board, wrote in an Instagram story that he has dropped several gigs “due to them having ties to [Israel].” As a result, he said he lost $1,000 in gigs for June — events that he told KQED by email were associated with biotech company Gilead, which has \u003ca href=\"https://www.gileadisrael.co.il/en/about/gilead-in-israel\">financial ties to Israel\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t attended the SF Pride Parade or any official SF Pride events in over seven years for many reasons — increasingly militarized police presence, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11969701/this-is-resistance-how-queer-palestinian-artists-and-activists-in-the-bay-area-are-making-themselves-heard\">pinkwashing\u003c/a>, harmful corporate sponsorships — to name a few,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oaklash is one of the facilitators of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thebadfund/%20\">BAD (Bay Area Drag) Fund\u003c/a>, a mutual aid fund created to support artists who choose to opt out of gigs that may clash with their support of Palestinians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Celeste, who is Jewish, said the BAD Fund “gives people the ability to say no … because that’s not a luxury that many of us are afforded.” The fund, Celeste points out, is a way to lessen artists’ dependency on the wealthy, especially amid the economic disparity that has pushed many queer and trans artists out of the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Celeste said they and their colleagues were not out to shame performers who \u003cem>do\u003c/em> take these gigs.

She pointed to actions and statements that Jewish Voice for Peace — a pro-Palestinian, anti-Zionist Jewish advocacy group — has issued against JCRC in the last eight months, which include criticizing JCRC Bay Area for “\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/C3eHX4BLkgI/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D&img_index=2\">running a cancellation campaign\u003c/a>” against pro-Palestinian advocates.

Senator Atkins is openly lesbian and grew up in rural Virginia. She remembers what it was like growing up as a young person in a place that was hostile to gay and lesbian people. She proposes that rescinding this travel ban will enable people who support LGBTQ rights to go to these places and promote a positive message of inclusion.

And it’s very important to distinguish it wasn’t a parade, it was a march,” said former state Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, who was in his 30s at the time.

Throughout the 1970s participation in the march grew, and in 1973 an estimated 42,000 people took part. Two years later that number almost doubled, and this year the City of San Francisco is expecting half a million people to participate in today’s Pride festivities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
