What are gays trying to prove?

If gay pride march is really about tolerance and 'human rights,' it should include Arab neighborhoods of the capital writes Andrew Friedman in YNetnews.com.

What is the homosexual community trying to prove by renewing its insistance on holding a gay pride march through downtown Jerusalem?
...

If the homosexual agenda is truly one of "human rights," what better chance to promote human rights in a (Arab) society in which active homosexuals are often brutally murdered? Why are drag queens on King George Street legitimate but out of bounds for Salah al-Din Street?



In a moment of uncharacteristic candor, Sattath provided the answer. "We don't want to offend them," she told me a couple of weeks ago. "But many Jews are also offended by the march," I responded. "Seems to me that means you are careful not to offend Arab residents, but feel it is your right to offend Jewish ones."



The silence in response was deafening, and greatly overshadowed whatever empty statement she had to say about "an integral part of our activities" once she regained her composure

Offending Jews or Christians is not at all dangerous. On the other hand, offending Muslims is not somehting that the activist Gay community has ever considered, much less done.

The courage of their convictions is somewhat lacking.
