High Court rejects petition asking to ban Jerusalem Gay Pride parade

Tomer Zarchin; 23/6/08

The High Court of Justice on Monday rejected a petition submitted by right-wing activists Baruch Marzel and Itamar Ben-Gvir in efforts to prevent a Gay Pride parade from being held in Jerusalem this week. The parade will take place as planned on Thursday. The justices took into consideration in their ruling the parade route, the length of time it would take and the organizer’s promise that the parade would be muted in nature. Earlier Monday, the judges recommended that the petitioners withdraw their petition.
