Socialist Queens Councilwoman Tiffany Caban's statement at a Pride Month celebration linking queer liberation to 'Free Palestine!' sparked outrage and divided opinions within LGBTQ+ and Jewish communities.
Caban faced criticism for connecting queer liberation with a country that may have laws against LGBTQ+ individuals, leading to questions and controversies regarding her stance and the appropriateness of her message.
The event at Queens College's Pridefest, where Caban made the statement, showed both support and backlash, with cheers from some and questioning reactions from others, particularly from the Jewish community.
Caban's association of queer liberation with 'Free Palestine!' through social media posts and event attendance drew attention and criticism, with some social media users pointing out the potential contradiction and risks involved in such a stance.
