Gay Pride, Yes – Jewish Pride, No!

(IsraelNN.com) Jerusalem police have declined a request for a permit for a Jewish Pride Parade on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount on Thursday to counter the court-approved Gay Pride Parade in the capital on the same day.

In a copy of the police letter received by IsraelNationalNews.com, Jerusalem police officials decline the requested permit, citing “the welfare of the public” as one of the considerations. Police also stated the Temple Mount is an inappropriate host site for such an event.

In the meantime, the Jerusalem District Court has overridden Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski and has ordered the Gay Pride Parade held in the capital on Thursday, rejecting the mayor’s position that Jerusalem is an inappropriate host site for such an event.
