| Remind me: how did the Gay Pride parade in Riyadh go? |
"We want this parade to go ahead without violence," said Yonathan Leibowicz, of the Jerusalem Open House organisation that organised the event. "We reached an agreement with religious authorities to have a low-key demonstration so as not to shock people," he said.
Israel's Supreme Court earlier this week rejected a petition by a group of hardline Jewish activists who wanted the parade banned saying it was a "provocation" to hold it in this deeply religious city.
