Tanya Tsikanovsky, a Republican Zionist lesbian candidate for West Hollywood City Council, claims she is being excluded from queer spaces due to her Zionist views. A scheduled "meet-and-greet" at a lesbian bar was canceled within 20 minutes of being advertised online due to "so much hate over platforming a Zionist." Tsikanovsky stated, "We are being effectively pushed out of all of our queer spaces." She is running to represent West Hollywood's 48% queer population and fight for the Jewish people, noting that most of her 13 opponents are anti-Israel. Tsikanovsky, who identifies as a lifelong Zionist and lesbian activist, believes her Jewish and Zionist identities are inseparable.
