We Refuse to Choose

MANY JEWS, NON-JEWS, LGBTQ PEOPLE, AND OUR ALLIES FEEL PRESSURED TO KEEP ONE PART OF THEIR IDENTITY IN THE CLOSET: THEIR CONNECTION TO ISRAEL. IT HAS TO STOP. WE REFUSE TO CHOOSE.

WE PLEDGE TO STAND UP FOR THE RIGHTS OF EVERY LGBTQ PERSON TO DEFINE THEIR OWN IDENTITIES AND CHOOSE THEIR OWN PATHS.

WE PLEDGE TO CELEBRATE ALL ASPECTS OF OUR IDENTITIES, INCLUDING OUR CONNECTION TO ISRAEL.

WE PLEDGE TO REFUSE TO BE DEFINED BY ANYONE ELSE BUT OURSELVES.
