Protesting Jerusalem Gay Pride ~ 2008

Ultra-Orthodox Jews demonstrate against a gay pride parade, in the Mea Shearim religious neighborhood in Jerusalem, Thursday, June 26, 2008.

About 3,000 gays have marched through Jerusalem in their annual Gay Pride parade.

Past marches have been marred by violent demonstrations by ultra-Orthodox Jews. This year there were only small-scale protests away from the march route on Thursday.

No surprise, really. That's religion for you: disgusting, bigotted and grossly out of touch. This applies to virtually any religion, including Judaism. I don't hold out much hope for a religion that starts off life with genital mutilation. Not exactly a great start.
