(Israel) - A number of friends plan to set up a party for gay people that would contend for Knesset seats in the next general election. The party will be called Magi, a Hebrew acronym for Gay Party in Israel, the Tel Aviv magazine reported Thursday. Gay groups stepped up their campaign for more civil rights when their plans to hold a gay pride parade in Jerusalem were cancelled by the police for fear of confrontations with the city's strictly religious residents. Journalist and director Hagai Eyad will be appointed the party's secretary-general.
