Hundreds hold peaceful Gay pride march in Jerusalem
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS
Nearly 1,000 people participated in Jerusalem's first-
ever Gay pride march in Jerusalem yesterday.
Police detained one member of the outlawed Kach movement for throwing eggs and
tomatoes, but otherwise the controversial event went peacefully.
A large police presence apparently prevented haredi activists from carrying out
threats to disrupt the event, which haredi leaders protested as sacrilegious.
"We must uproot this filth from our midst," said Shas MK Nissim Ze'ev, a former
deputy mayor.
"Get out of our camp. Go to Holland, Germany, and Switzerland," a Kach flier
distributed yesterday read. It ended with a pledge to meet the "members of
abomination" with "eggs, tomatoes, and other fruits of the season."
Hundreds of police were on hand as protesters shouted at the marchers in the city's
Zion Square, and virtually no demonstrators interfered with the event.
The Kach movement, however, announced that one of its activists, Itamar Ben-Gvir,
was held for throwing tomatoes and eggs at the marchers.
Hagai Elad, director of the Jerusalem gay-lesbian community's Open House,
accused the haredi community of failing to recognize that the homosexual
community is an integral part of the city.
"Like all other communities in the city, we have the full right to express ourselves
publicly and in a proper manner, certainly in view of the decades during which
homosexuals and lesbians in Jerusalem were kept erased from the public eye," Elad
said.
Mayor Ehud Olmert tried to convince organizers to hold the event in Tel Aviv, as in
years past, and refused to grant it funding. Gay activists appealed the decision to the
High Court which postponed a ruling for three months.
