(Jerusalem, Israel) - Under heavy police guard, gay activists marched in a Gay Pride parade in downtown Jerusalem on Thursday. Police said 2,500 took part. Marchers carried posters of Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama and signs bearing messages like "Out of the closet and into the street." "I am demanding my civil rights, including the right to get married and have children," said marcher Guy Frishman, 27. "I want to have rights like every other person." Ultra-Orthodox Jews have rioted repeatedly over the past week, burning tires, assaulting policemen and damaging police cars.
