Organizers of Jerusalem’s Pride and Tolerance March announce that the event will be held on May 30 along the traditional march route, as part of the struggle for the return of the hostages.
The Jerusalem Open House, which organizes the march, states that the city’s annual march is normally a protest event and a display of tolerance, hope, communal strength and optimism for a better future, and is different in character and feel from Tel Aviv’s more festive event, which will not take place this year and will be replaced by a rally for the Gaza hostages.
This year’s Jerusalem parade will be a demonstration of the entire LGBTQ community in Israel, who will come to the capital city demanding equal rights, according to the Jerusalem Open House.
