Two MKs – Eli Gabbay and Nissim Zeev – have proposed a law banning gay pride. Activists, however, aren't taking the illiberal assault lying down: they're plastering the MKs' homes with flyers denouncing the politicos as undemocratic. One Jerusalem based professor summed it up: "This legislation is inherently damaging. If freedom of expression is impinged upon, Israel will cease to be a democracy."

I'm happy that the Israelie gays are standing their ground. i don't know that their is any connection between democracy and gay pride. We err in the belief that democracy itself guarantees all kinds of freedoms. Quite the contrary. Back in the 1830's when Alexis de Toqueville was traveling through America, writting, he noted that one of the greatest dangers to our freedoms was democracy– it means no more than majority rule, which can be poisonous and descriminative. Remember that it was a democracy that determined to execute Socrates.
