Measure Would Bar Gay Pride In Jerusalem

[WillParkinson]

(Jerusalem) A member of Israel's religious Shas Party told a parliamentary committee Tuesday that homosexuality is an epidemic and should be dealt with like the Health Ministry deals with bird flu.

Nissim Ze'ev was speaking in support of a bill that would give the city of Jerusalem the power to ban public events that "insult religious values and public feelings."

He said that gays should be forced into "rehabilitation" in the same way as drug addicts and alcoholics.

"It wasn't a coincidence that the bible compared homosexual relations with bestiality and sentenced to death those who were caught performing it," Ze'ev said.

The bill before the Knesset's Legislative Committee would allow city officials in Jerusalem to ban gay pride. The Orthodox Shas Party has tried for several years to get pride marches blocked.

Ironic, since that is how the Holocaust started.
