Protest group kicked out of Mardi Gras over ‘genocide’ posts
Pride in Protest was removed for social media posts targeting Jewish LGBTQ group Dayenu, breaching Mardi Gras' code of conduct and raising safety concerns, organisers said.
- On Friday, the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras removed Pride in Protest from Saturday's parade after social media posts labelled Dayenu `pro‑genocide`, citing code breaches and safety reasons.
- Pride in Protest, a long‑time marcher, has campaigned under `No Pride In Genocide` and published posts alleging Dayenu, Sydney's first Jewish LGBTQ+ community social group, held `pro‑genocide` views after it rejoined last week following safety fears from the December 14 Bondi attack.
- Mardi Gras emailed Pride in Protest at 11am on Friday with a 5pm deadline to remove posts, declined extension requests, and after no reply, Jesse Matheson excluded them at 9pm Friday.
- Pride in Protest responded by calling the move censorship and organizing a snap march from Town Hall to Hyde Park at 3.30pm, while Amanda Cohn and Alex Greenwich offered contrasting remarks.
- Tens of thousands are expected in Sydney's CBD for the 48th annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade starting at 7.30pm, NSW Police will run a high-visibility operation, and commentators warned the exclusion risks deepening divisions and debate.
