NY community garden loses license after supporting PLO/Hamas, and corporations stop supporting LGBT ideology
A community garden in Queens, New York has had its license revoked after allegedly pressuring members to adopt far-left political positions — including pledging solidarity with Palestinians — sparking outrage from locals.It's stunning how only so many movements like these have sold out to these specific ideologies, even if they clash with each other. As a result, their dedication to botany is also in doubt. I'll give credit to the staff of Eric Adams for revoking the garden's license, but even so, there's only so much about NYC that discourages me from visiting there again.
The Sunset Community Garden, located in Ridgewood was closed by the Parks Department on May 5 after officials determined its membership requirements violated city rules, the New York Post reported. The garden’s so-called “community agreements” required participants to affirm a slate of ideological positions, including standing “in solidarity with the oppressed and marginalized people” of Palestine and embracing progressive gender ideologies. The garden must be cleared out by June 6.
The garden — funded in part by the city through a collaboration with the nonprofit GrowNYC — was built on city-owned property, originally meant to serve the Ridgewood community as a non-political space. But critics say it was “hijacked by crazies,” in the words of former organizer Christina Wilkinson, after radical activists took over operations.
The group’s now-private Instagram account previously posted slogans like “From the River to the Sea,” widely condemned as antisemitic, and called for members to use “correct pronouns” and embrace “queer, trans, disabled, chronically ill, femme, poor, immigrant, refugee, fat bodies, and richly melanated community,” the New York Post reported.
And then, it looks like corporations are withdrawing their support for all the horrific LGBT ideology movements that became a sad staple of the past decade:
A host of American corporations are backpedaling from their involvement in gay pride events this year amid the Trump administration’s rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts across the country.Anyone notice how corporate support for feminist movements, by contrast, seems to have disappeared almost entirely, if at all in the past decade, no matter how bad that was to boot? If they'd kept on with this DEI propaganda though, chances are entirely possible that soon enough, they'd be replacing support for LGBT ideology with support for Islam, and if you know where to look, undoubtably, it's there. Good to see they're retreating now from the DEI propaganda they were backing until recently. But if they really want to apologize, that's why they'll start showing support for women's dignity again, by which I don't mean feminism, of course, since those were left-wing movements that pushed it. It's got to be respect for women's rights and dignity in a general sense, plain and simple.
There have been a growing number of reports that organizers of major gay pride parades and festivals across the U.S. are scrambling for funds due to several longtime corporate sponsors scaling back their support of LGBTQ events. Some scholars explained to the Daily Caller News Foundation that news of companies pulling back from pride events may reflect a broader shift away from DEI in corporate America.
“We are seeing major companies, in meaningful numbers, either eliminating or modifying their DEI programs, which certainly does include sponsoring LGBTQ+ pride events and so on,” Stefan Padfield, the executive director of the National Center’s Free Enterprise Project, told the DCNF. “I think really the bottom line here is that there has just arisen an awareness on the part of executives that this promotion of these [pride] events runs such a meaningful risk of being perceived as pushing transgender ideology on parents … I think corporations have finally woken up to the reality that that’s a very big risk for them to be taking.”
“Those of us on the right, conservatives in this space, we are just pushing corporations to get back to neutral,” Padfield added. “We just want them to stop pushing these agendas down our throat, just get back to producing great products and services and making America great through the power of capitalism in that way … the left, on the other hand, wants the corporations to push their agendas. This is really a step back to neutrality, and I think we need to celebrate it and encourage more of it.”
