So what's new?

Tel-Aviv has been having a very successful annual Pride Parade for quite some time, with municipality participation, both financial and physical - i.e. mayoral presence. (TA municipality even has a department to cater for GLBT citizens, headed by a lesbian woman.)

The gays of Jerusalem have decided to hold their own Pride Parade for the first time in the holy city (next Friday afternoon). The very powerful ultra-orthodox in Jerusalem are behaving as one would expect: religious bigots are the same all over the world, whatever their religion.

You can read all about it (and please do) at the following link:
