Jewish people celebrating LGBT Pride in Chicago were told not to display Star of David flags because other people found them offensive.
The Jewish Star of David flag was banned from the citys annual Dyke March celebrations, and several people carrying the flag were removed form the march because their presence made people feel unsafe, LGBT paper Windy City Times reported.
The Dyke March is described by organisers as being a "more inclusive, more social justice-oriented" march than the city's main Pride parade.
The organizers of the march told the Times the event was a pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist one and that the flags made people feel unsafe.
Israels own backing of LGBT rights has been described as pinkwashing, with the authorities there accused of using gay rights to detract from the ongoing conflict with Palestine.
