Court Orders Jerusalem Mayor Not To Interfere With Gay Pride
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/06/062605jerusalem.htm

A Jerusalem court on Sunday lifted a ban on gay Pride celebrations imposed by the city's mayor and ordered him not to interfere with the annual march, scheduled for Thursday.

In a letter last week to Jerusalem Open House, the LGBT rights group organizing the parade, city administrator Eitan Mayer said that the march would be prohibited.

"It would not be right to allow the parade to take place because it would offend people, and could cause unrest amongst the residents of the city," the letter said.

1. That's great news!
The linked story from that article shows how much hate we are up against in this world. When Islamic, Jews and Christians only agree on one thing, hate the fags, it's a sad state of affairs. Here's what they were saying last year:

Former Chief Rabbi Mordehai Eliyahu in a public statement called event “a disgrace”.

Muslim officials announced that if the gay pride organizers do not heed warnings and attempt to march in Jerusalem, “their lives will be in danger”.

The clerics have called on Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski to step in and order the parade and celebration cancelled. Lupolianski is a member of the hareidi, a fervently Orthodox community.
