The stupidity of the ultra-dogmatic at its finest. If the march goes through, I sincerely hope the marchers can put a few nutcases in the hospital.

What crap. Just cos a few ignorant dogmatic religious dickheads get their knickers in a twist is no reason to stop a load of any group of people going anywhere. What if it wasn't a gay pride event but a big gay holiday, would those people think anything different?

However, the people on the march had better go in ready for a fight because you know they'll get one the sort of pricks who put up this much of a fuss :ph34r:

I wonder what these people would do if gay survivors of the Holocaust were involved in the parade?

They should hold their Pride Parade regardless of what shit for brains religious person (be they Christian, Muslim or Jewish) may think, say or do.

The same applies to whatever restrictions the police may impose on the Pride Parade.

It's true that Isreal and Lebanon (especially Beriut) are probably the safest parts of the Middle East for LGBT people, but there is still a long way to go it seems.
