Lesbian group replaces adverts with stories of LGBTQ+ people in Palestine

A group of lesbian activists has replaced adverts on public transport across London with stories of LGBTQ+ people in Palestine. 

The Dyke Project, a group of trans, cis and non-binary lesbians and queers of all persuasions, targeted Transport for London’s network as a part of a call for an end to the Israel-Hamas conflict. 

Posters, telling moving stories, were put up on the Victoria line and the London Overground. 

The posters take testimonies from the website Queering the Map – a community-generated digital map of queer experiences – and are accompanied by a message of solidarity. 

Stories include the message, from people in Palestine: “We are here and we are queer.” 

Another reads: “I’ve always imagined you and me sitting out in the sun, hand and hand, free at last.
