Human Rights Campaign Rejects Weapons Company Sponsorships After Pressure Around Israel Genocide

I mean, come on, this is about time someone called out HRC for profiting off the suffering of Palestinians . It's not like they were just donating cash to arm manufacturers out of the goodness of their hearts . They knew it was going towards supporting Israel's military, and that's what made it all so shady .

And don't even get me started on HRC's response . "We've spoken out against extremism"? Are you kidding me? You're more concerned with lining your own pockets than actually doing something meaningful about human rights .

I'm not surprised that pro-Palestine groups were pushing for this change, though . It's about time someone held HRC accountable for their actions . And to all the critics who are skeptical about HRC's true intentions? Yeah, I get it . But at least they're trying to make a difference now .

I just wish they would have taken this step a long time ago . The harm caused by HRC's silence is already done . But hey, better late than never, right?

i'm kinda glad to see hrc distancing itself from arms manufacturers . i mean, who doesn't want queer ppl fighting for justice and equality? but at the same time, i'm not sure if this is just another ploy by the organization to salvage its reputation . i mean, what's to stop them from getting cozy with arms makers again in a few months? . plus, where's the action on actually calling for an arms embargo on israel? that's like, super important if we wanna really make a difference .

I don’t usually comment but... I think this is a good step for HRC . They've been under a lot of pressure from the LGBTQ+ community and pro-Palestine groups, so it's about time they made a change . But at the same time, I'm not sure if it's enough . I mean, they're still tied to arms manufacturers, which is pretty shady . It feels like they're trying to clean their image without actually changing anything deep down .

I also feel bad for the LGBTQ+ community in Israel who are still getting targeted by the Israeli government and arms industry . It's not just about HRC making a change, it's about creating systemic change that benefits everyone, not just the most vocal activists .

The HRC's decision is about time... or rather, about the pressure from those who matter LGBTQ+ activists and advocates have been vocal about their concerns for far too long, and it's finally being heard This isn't just about HRC; it's a symptom of a larger issue – organizations profiting off human rights abuses without questioning them The real test is whether this change translates into meaningful action

so they're finally doing something about the whole Israel thing... i mean, it's not like they were just cashing in on LGBTQ+ love or anything but seriously, why did it take them this long to distance themselves from arms manufacturers? i guess you could say they were getting "sniped" by activists for a while now . anyway, its good that they're taking a stand (literally) and acknowledging the human rights abuses in Gaza. but we should be seeing more than just a symbolic gesture - like, actual policy changes
