Protesting Jerusalem Gay Pride ~ 2008

Ultra-Orthodox Jews demonstrate against a gay pride parade, in the Mea Shearim religious neighborhood in Jerusalem, Thursday, June 26, 2008.

About 3,000 gays have marched through Jerusalem in their annual Gay Pride parade.
Past marches have been marred by violent demonstrations by ultra-Orthodox Jews. This year there were only small-scale protests away from the march route on Thursday. Police said they had about 2,000 officers on duty to protect the marchers from protesters.
