Jerusalem Gay Pride March
Context
Story:
Jerusalem's Open House for Pride and Tolerance organised the city's controversial Gay Pride parade. This year's march marked the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York City - an event which signaled the beginning of the global LGBT movement. In previous years, the parade faced violent protests and a bloody knife attack in 2005. This year was much quieter, with protesters claiming they preferred not to give the march more publicity by holding high-profile demonstrations.
