A comment:

The term “Gay” pride is misleading and inaccurate.

In recent years folks who are bi-sexual, transexual, transvestite, funky or who are in other ways “differently sexually oriented” than the majority have been lumped together under the rubric “Gay”.

I learned only recently that it is far more inclusive and accurate to remove the word “Gay” entirely. Just use PRIDE PARADE… now everyone of every color, race, religion, and sexual orientation can participate in the celebration equally.

I just don’t understand where people such as those “ultra-orthodox” protestors get the notion that they somehow have either the WISDOM or the RIGHT to dictate to ANYONE how to “be” in this world. Don’t they have enough to deal with just managing and understanding the abilities, disabilities, frailties and ignorance in their OWN lives? I know I do.

Some Israelis, like Hitler’s Germans, would like to purge their society of homosexuals. Everyone knows how a Gay Pride march in Jerusalem threatens ultra-Orthodox Jewish men. It could stop them from wearing plaids with stripes. Or force them to listen to Barbara Streisand. Oh my!

That has to be the most desperately funny/sad thing ever

How sick!
Fanaticism sucks

Three cheers for the Israeli courts for upholding the democratic right for freedom of expression!

“The event, held in Jerusalem since 2001, has been denounced in the past by conservative Jewish, Christian and Muslim groups…”

Given the issue I suppose its to much to expect any comfort from the fact these idiots actually possess a capacity for agreeing on something.

Cheers to some true Israeli heroes for a successful march in the face of the usual fear, bigotry and violence that comes from religious fanaticism of any type.
