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 had 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, such as, “We are here and we are queer.” Jess Elliott, from the Dyke Project, said the advert hack aims to remind the community that none of its members are free until all of us are. The posters, put up near gay venues Dalston Superstore, Zodiac, and The Glory pub, as well as Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, and in New Cross and Hackney, will remain on display for the next few days. The Dyke Project was formed to oppose narratives that pit trans people and lesbians against one another.
