Jerusalem gay march ban set aside



A Jerusalem court has ruled that the city's annual gay parade should be allowed to take place next Thursday as originally scheduled.
The decision overturned a ban on the event by the city's council, which had said the event would be "provocative" and set off unrest.

The judge ordered Jerusalem's mayor to personally pay 30,000 shekels ($6,600) to the city's gay and lesbian centre.

He said this would cover the group's legal costs and underwrite the event.

3. I agree

And why do I think that the greatest number of people who are against gay sex have really big piles of porn hidden under the beds and in thier closet.

4. I wonder if this ruling will be resisted in the streets.

Wouldn't surprise me, the way things are going these days.
