For years, the capital's gay community has sought acceptance in a city that claims to represent Judaism's best values - tolerance, peace and acceptance of "the other." No segment of Jerusalem's diverse population has faced as intense and sustained assault on its existence as the Holy City's gay community.
For this and other reasons, Jerusalem - more than any city in Israel - stands in dire need of a lesson in tolerance and diversity. This lesson - and not an ostentatious display of sexuality - is the driving force behind the parade.
