Woman Thinks Pride Flag In Profile Entitles Her To Be Utter P.O.S.

When anyone challenges her on her behavior she throws out a ‘You’re attacking me because I support LGBT rights!’

Tel Aviv, June 9 – A resident of the affluent neighborhood of Ramat Aviv in the northern section of this Mediterranean city apparently believes that displaying the rainbow banner associated with the LGBTQ+ rights movement gives her carte blanche to continue acting like an unmitigated jerkwad in every other aspect of her life, area sources reported today.

Pia Taba’at, 22, replaced her Twitter avatar with the Pride flag at the beginning of June, as many in Western culture mark this thirty-day span as Pride Month, highlighting the struggles, culture, and politics of refusal to hide in mainstream, “heteronormative” society. Today also features the region’s largest Pride Parade here in Tel Aviv, the most ostentatious and visible event associated with Pride Month. Neighbors, coworkers, associates, acquaintances, and other observers have noted that in the week-and-a-half since she changed the tiny image next to her screen name, Ms. Taba’at has disregarded basic civility and concern for others’ interests or welfare except insofar as they can serve hers, under the assumption that espousing the politics behind Pride Month allows her to dispense with any other attempts to be a good person.

“When anyone challenges her on her behavior she throws out a ‘You’re attacking me because I support LGBT rights!'” recalled one online interlocutor, following a heated exchange in which Taba’at classified parental involvement in their children’s schooling “dangerous to democracy” and characterized as a Nazi anyone who disagrees. “This was after someone called her to task for blocking people who challenged her and pointed out her use of vulgar language.”

Neighbors noted that her exploitation of Pride support extends beyond the online realm. “As soon as she hung a rainbow flag from her terrace railing, we knew to expect a few weeks of garbage strewn anywhere but the dumpster,” sighed a resident on the floor below Taba’at’s who declined to give a name for fear of unpleasant consequences. “It’s been that way for a few years already. She evidently thinks supporting the ‘right’ cause justifies behavior that under normal circumstances any idiot knows is unacceptable. Well, almost any idiot.”

Taba’at has invited numerous friends and acquaintances to her shared apartment without informing her flatmates. “They’re fine with it,” she assured invitees. “Everyone’s down with Pride Month activities, and anyone who isn’t is a bigot who deserves to have their life disrupted, cigarette butts in their garden, and their cars blocked in or dinged by my friends.”
