We built our own Pride when we were pushed out. This year, we march back in – on our terms
We did not return by softening who we are or by going quiet until the trouble blew over. We returned by insisting that Jews belong in queer spaces as fully and unapologetically as anyone else
Assessment
A community that was excluded from a Pride event created its own alternative rather than fading away. This year's return is framed not as a concession but as an assertion of full belonging. The tension between Jewish identity and queer spaces remains unresolved. Watch how other marginalized groups within social movements negotiate similar reentries.
