canceled a years-long partnership and pride dance party in response to reported security concerns, according to a statement from the museum.Cain said their contract was terminated for a different reason: differing views on the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
“Anti-Zionism does not mean anti-Semitism,” they said. “I made that explicitly clear that that’s not what I intend or have ever intended. The owner of the Walrus is a trans Jewish man who stands in solidarity with the work that I do, and he allowed me to have the pro-Palestinian event there.”and posted on Instagram saying: “In a state, where queer and trans people are being systematically erased from existence, it is no coincidence that the Cummer has banned Duval Folx.
Cain said they didn’t understand safety concerns since they have “been doing this event since 2018,” adding that they never said it would be a pro-Palestine pride event specifically. Cain also acknowledged that being pro-Palestine is embedded in their political work, though, and can be seen across all their platforms but said they have never been exclusionary nor threatening toward Jewish people.
With the event at the Cummer canceled, Cain is encouraging those who would have gone to the pride dance party to instead attend a pro-Palestine rally and subsequent dance party on the same day.
