There we go again.

Jeruzalem is a holy city for 3 religions, why on earth do they insist on holding it there? Is this mutual respect? Is it just me or do gay people enjoy being disliked. This is nothing more then a provocation if you ask me, shouldn't expect any pity from me if they are attacked, they pretty much deserve it.

opinions?

So no religious parades should be allowed in San Fran or Sydney?

ehhhhhh, are you sure you don't see the difference?

Well they surely shouldn't do any religious parades where I'm living

Why on earth do they do gay parades anyway? It's not like there are any heterosexual parades ... atleast not here

They started out in Sydney when people still thought that gay bashing was an okay activity.

It was a way of quite honestly stating that they were queer and that they were proud of it... rather then having to live a dishonest life and be ostracized or worse if they came out of the closet.

Nowadays in Sydney it is more of a party and parade... like an adult version of St Patricks... beer, frocks and a more wide selection of fairies not just green ones.

I respect the statement they are making, and more power to them for choosing to go in this dangerous place.

The statement that their right to shake their tails is more important then centuries old traditions of millions and millions of people in the world? If they do da boom they have it comming, if you insist on provocing don't cry if it works, almost hoping for it to happen serves them right. There is such a thing as taking it too far, how can they possibly think this aids their cause?

Tolerance and respect are not one way streets.

Retards. They could do this sort of thing in Tel Aviv or several other cities without trouble, but that's apparently not offensive enough.

**Kralizec** · 06-21-2007, 09:31

I agree in principle that they should be able to do it in Jerusalem, too- but considering the situation it's a very, very bad idea. If you were the organizer would you pick a place that's going to provocate the 2 major religions in the area and could very well lead to violence, even if you could do it in other places in Israel without trouble?

Do you also think it's a good idea to hold an Orange march through an Irish catholic suburb?
