Remember last month when TruthRevolt reported that the Chicago Dyke March kicked out a group of gay Jews, because it "triggered" the pro-Palestine supporters among them? Well, the reporter who broke that story, Gretchen Rachel Hammond, has been officially relieved of her journalistic duties. Though last week, she was on the Windy City Times's masthead as "senior writer," she is now listed as “senior account executive.”

The Algemeiner reports:

Hammond — whose June 24 story caused a national storm after she detailed how three women flying Jewish Pride flags embossed with the Star of David were instructed to leave the gathering by organizers from the Dyke March Collective — confirmed to The Algemeiner on Monday that while she was still employed by the paper, she was not presently engaged in its reporting and writing operations.

“At this time, I have not been fired from Windy City Times, but I have been transferred to working full time for the sales department,” Hammond explained in an emailed statement. “The reasoning is an internal matter and I have been instructed not to comment about it even to close friends. Given my present situation, I must comply with this instruction.”

But here's the best part of The Algemeiner story, proving that you really can't be liberal enough for liberals. Once you accidentally tell the truth, you're out:

Hammond joined the Windy City Times as a reporter in 2013 and won the 2016 National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association Award for Excellence in News Writing. This year, Hammond was a finalist for the second time for the Lisagor Award, which honors journalists in Chicago.

Hammond came to national attention in 2016 when she saved the life of one of her readers by donating a kidney. “This current and particularly ugly electoral cycle has been fueled by the politics of conceit,” Hammond later reflected in a column for the paper. “So it is easy to forget that, even if you don’t have the resources of a wealthy philanthropist, it is more important than ever to help someone in need and, in so doing, change their world and, as a consequence of that action, the world as a whole for the better.”

So you have an award-winning journalist -- who's even been awarded for her LGBTQ work -- who is no longer good enough to even continue reporting. And this isn't because she made an error, but because she told the truth.
