Statement of Intent Regarding the World Pride Homosexual Event in Israel

The InterPride celebration attracted about a quarter of a million homosexuals in 2000 and expects to host the largest "gay" event ever in the Holy Land in 2005, organizers say, according to the website Gay365.com.

"An event of this magnitude has never occurred before anywhere in Israel ," said Jerry Levinson, executive director of Jerusalem 's Gay and Lesbian Center, Hagai El-Ad.

Levinson said his center, which will serve as the host organization, has its work cut out for itself because Jerusalem is intensely religious for Jews, Muslims and Christians.

Fierce opposition from religious organizations kept away "gay pride" celebrations of any kind in Jerusalem until last year.

The city was chosen after a successful lobbying campaign at the annual InterPride conference this month in Montreal , Gay365.com said.

InterPride is organized by the Brussels , Belgium-based International Lesbian and Gay Association

Last year, an estimated 2,000 to 4,000 Israeli homosexuals marched through Jerusalem for the first time under heavy police protection and protest from ultra-Orthodox Jews and others. The event began just hours before the start of the Jewish Sabbath.

Please join me in stopping this event. To all who love Jerusalem because it's God's Holy City please write, call, fax, or email the mayor, the Prime Minister and all the of Israel's Politicians!
