Minister demands gay pride exodus from Jerusalem
Israeli government ministers have thwarted new plans for a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) 'Pride and Tolerance' march in Jerusalem.
The Minister for Jerusalem Affairs, Yaakov Edri, told Jerusalem Open House (JOH) who were organising the march, to hold the gay pride parade outside of the capital city.
No reason for the request has been issued as yet, Ynetnews reports.
The news has come as a blow to JOH, who have been awaiting an outcome on permit approval from the police and Jerusalem municipality.
A new date for the march had only just been publicised after the initial march, scheduled to take place in August, was postponed due to the current situation in the region.
The revised date for the parade has been set for 21st September and was agreed now that the city's security was considered safe enough for the protest to go ahead.
