| What are gays trying to prove?
What is the homosexual community trying to prove by renewing its insistance on holding a gay pride march through downtown Jerusalem? Homosexual activists and their apologists claim they are "merely trying to realize their democratic rights," and in theory they are right: Gays have as much right to parade down Jaffa Road and King George Street as Jews have to march down Fifth Avenue. But less than a month ago, the homosexual community demonstrated both its right to hold a gay pride festival in Jerusalem and its ability to do so in a way that caused little or no offense to the large majority of Jerusalemites who strongly opposd the march that was scheduled to cap off the festival but was cancelled due to the Lebanon War.
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. It will be recalled that the parade was to have taken place on August 6 but was postponed in the thick of the Lebanon war. .
