A Jewish “LGBT+” charity has withdrawn from the 2025 Pride in London march, expressing fears for participants’ safety.
KeshetUK—“working to ensure no one is forced to choose between their LGBT+ and Jewish identity”—claimed that Pride in London rejected its multiple requests for cooperation, including an offer “in good faith” to provide antisemitism awareness training for stewards.
The group said that British Jews are not being given adequate reassurance that they would be “physically and psychologically safe” at the capital’s flagship LGBT+ event, adding
We hope that Pride in London will reflect on the fact that, for two years now, KeshetUK has felt forced to withdraw.
While a ‘Queers for Palestine’ campaign would not last long in Gaza, it appears that the same activists would happily impose their own brand of intimidation on charities from the ‘wrong’ background. Antisemitism in Britain has skyrocketed since the Hamas-led pogrom of October 7th, with even a British hostage in a same-sex relationship getting little sympathy from LGBT pressure groups.
