How about a 'boring' parade?! I don't know why the Orthodox response is always so humorless and clumsy. Sad.

Imagine how this looks to secular Israeli's? <BR/><BR/>I can understand the religious not wanting 'The Gay Parade' here but I don't understand this tactic. It is outwardly insulting and doesn't take into account the feelings of gay people. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, 'why don't they have the parade in Tel Aviv?' Why do they need it in Jerusalem? Jerusalem isn't really a place for 'open sexual acts'. I think the parade is way too sexual for Jerusalem. <BR/><BR/>I really like your quote:<BR/>"Orthodoxies put a lot of emphasis on "modesty". I happen to think that in our day and age we have gone too far in overt and public displays of intimacy. Those who want to flaunt their sexuality in public need to stop and think, and realize it is as hurtful to others as is the crude hatred and antipathy that is directed towards them. It is sad that human nature seems to be so much more willing for a fight than for amicable accommodation."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
