• After weeks and months of mounting pressure from conservative religious types, WorldPride 2006 is out of Jerusalem and will take over Tel Aviv. [Ynet]
• We weren’t the only ones obsessed with the models walking down Paris’ runways. [Made In Brazil]
• One of Queerty’s best friends attending the opening of the world’s largest bathhouse in Cleveland. Unfortunately, he didn’t bring his camera. But one blogger did. [FAF]
• Michael Jackson had no idea – zero, people – he was in cahoots with a gay porn director. [Jossip]

So this “apparent situation, but … final decision has not yet been made” idea means that when festivities are “expected to move to Tel Aviv at the last moment” then World Pride 2005/6 is pulling a bait and switch tactic on attendees?

I am relieved that World Pride withdrew from Jerusalem. I have to wonder: WHO was the genius who planned World Pride in freakin’ Jerusalem anyway?
Where next year? CAIRO? RIYADH? KUALA LUMPUR?
MOSCOW?????

World Pride should tno accept any move .. It can not appear to be partisan politically … World Pride is a call to action for every country … and there is not a country yet where lesbians and gay men are not looked down on for wanting to be visible as people who love members of their own sex…. even those “liberals” nes .. adn certainly not the US.
We should not be surprised that we are not wanted by homophobic religious and politicians …So what is new? We must stand together on this one issue regardless of what ever other differences we may have as a world wide diverse community.
The most important aspect of this World Pride in Jerusalem is the gathering of open lesbians and gay men of faith in one conversation across culture and religion.
No one should have ever thought Jerusalem would be a party.. It is not .. It is like Stonewall itself: a rebellion .. a rebellion against bigotry … anywhere,…
I was present the first night of Stonewall ..it was not a riot ..it was a rebellion motivated by love and self-respect.
Blessed be
