An exceptionally stormy meeting of the Jerusalem City Council was held Thursday following a proposal to prepare for the Gay Pride Parade which will be held in the city in August.

Saar Ran-Netanel, a council member of the Meretz leftist faction, asked how the municipality was preparing for the event, fueling the ire of ultra-Orthodox council members.

A week ago, the Union for Homosexuals and Lesbians in Israel canceled planned gay pride parades in Tel Aviv and Haifa and announced that the event will take place in Jerusalem

Geez these guys really learnt nothing from last year.

I plan on going and I think we should kick off by praying at our holy Kotel along with all the other gay Jews,the Muslim gays should start with a Prayer at Al Aqsa mosque,and Christian gays with a small Parade down the via delorosa..all the time being protected by Hunky Israeli Soldiers from the Gay Unit.

Anyone else going?.....
