Jerusalem Gay Parade Postponed One More Time
As we went to press on Tuesday, The Jerusalem Post was reporting that Jerusalem police would not allow the gay pride parade, planned for September 21, the day before the start of Rosh Hashanah, to take place. Officials said the parade would interfere with police work in the Jerusalem area during this particularly busy time.
