Fuck This SHIT!

This is my ANGRY FACE! It ain't no damn Poker Face!

The Jerusalem Police is banning the Pride March to the Knesset, our Parliament, and telling the organisers (J-Lem Open House) that the route, through side streets from one park to another, we marched on last year is the one they're approving.

The Open House is appealing, of course.

The reason? "Security".

The article, linked above, doesn't state any particular security reason, simply... security!

"Security" is like a worm in a computer, it can shut down any and all conversations regarding the needs and wants of anyone. If it's security, it trumps all. That's why there are stories journalists aren't allowed to write about.

Fuck this shit. I can grantee, if the police doesn't approve the March to the Knesset, there will be a sever case of civil disobedience from citizens who are fucking pissed off at having their rights trampled on!

Fucking pigs.

On better notes:
Queers Against Israeli Apartheid will march at Toronto Pride!, well done you guys!

And President Obama presents an initiative to gelp homeless queer youth, *thumbs up* Mister President. This would be a good time to remind you Yanks, that Obama has been none too shabby when it comes to QUILTBAG (Best Acronym Ever!) Rights in the U.S.A - I love lists of good things.

Same here in the UK, the word Security stops all questions, needs, requests.

It's really frustrating.

Add "national" in front of it, and you can kill just about anything here in the United States.

Also, what was wrong with the new route? too visible to the community?

[eumelia]

Too visible, too provocative, not respectful of religion, too political... what have you.

"Get back in the closet, you anti-social rabble-rousers who make us have to think about whether our perfect society is actually perfect."

Yeah. Just what I was going to say.

God forbid the LGBT community actually march where people can see them! -gasp- The travesty! They might convert us to the evil dark side by breathing the same air we breath.

Because everyone knows The Gay and other deviancies are communicable, invisible, possibly airborne disease for which "cures" are expensive and painful.

QULTBAG is awesome.

We had a trivia tem called SQuID, which stood for Sushi-eating Queer Intellectual Dillitants, but we had to reverse engineer it pretty heavily. Actually, the first incarnation was SQuIC, but I can't remember what the C stood for.
