| Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men hold a banner opposing the gay pride parade, as they stand next to a mock horse at the beginning of the 'Beast Parade' held in Jerusalem, on July 29, 2010. The anti gay pride parade is part of the protest parades against the mass event held by the
gay-lesbian community at the same time. The protesters had initially
asked police for a permit to bring live donkeys for their demonstration,
police rejected the request, and the compromise of cardboard animals or
mock animals was settled upon. |
