Madrid Gay Pride March Bans Israelis Over Gaza Flotilla Raids

Featured Replies

Hilarious.

"A delegation of gay residents of Tel Aviv has been banned from joining a gay pride march in Madrid because authorities in the Israeli city have not condemned the recent attack on the Gaza flotilla.

"After what has happened, and as human rights campaigners, it seemed barbaric to us to have them taking part," explained Antonio Poveda, of Spain's Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transexuals and Bisexuals. "We don't just defend out own little patch."

The Tel Aviv group have reacted angrily to the decision, claiming that the Madrid activists were getting their priorities wrong by mixing the nine flotilla deaths with gay pride.

"I cannot recall anyone asking the Tel Aviv city hall to either support or condemn in this case. That is not their job. I also don't recall Madrid's gay organisations condemning any of the Palestinian terrorist attacks on cafes or buses," Eytan Schwartz, a spokesman for the city told Spain's El Mundo newspaper.

"Don't they know that Islamist fundamentalists don't just want to finish off Israel, but that they also believe homosexuals should 'cure themselves' or die?"

"It is shameful that they should join with pro-Palestinian and fundamentalist groups which are not exactly tolerant with homosexuality," he said."

There will be much crying and gnashing of teeth tonight in Israel.

At the least, this should push the blockade runners off the front page. :)

Now that is irony.

Just following the Bible.

And now the gay Spanish football team beat the pro Israeli Dutch. I am so confused.

Please point out where it says that in the Bible.  :)

I wonder how many homosexuals have been put to death by Christian gov'ts in the past 200 years compared to the number by Muslim gov'ts in the past decade?

Hitler a self proclaimed Catholic targeted homosexuals along with Jews, Gypsies, Socialists, and Communists. He firmly believe to that socialism and homosexuality were one in the same and all against church doctrine. Most of his views on this can be found in Mein Kampuf.

The country of Uganda, which is Christian, is now passing a law that makes homosexuality illegal and punishable by death. Many have also suggested that this happened because of an strong influence of American missionaries flooding Uganda with anti-gay rhetoric.

Uganda

I am sure that the number of homosexuals killed by Christian governments over the last 200 years is not as high as Muslim countries run by Sharia law, however, that doesn't guarantee this will always remain the case.

I would be interested in PeaceBlondie's comments on this as he is a gay Christian. However, unfortunately, he must be too ill to use the Internet right now.

I think his opinion would be interesting as well. I know this passage is one of those famous ones that Christians who want their religion to be friendly and peace loving ignore. There are others about stoning your wife for wearing make up, things like that, that are ignored all the time. However, the hardcore fundamentals use passages like this all the time. I think it's very similar to Muslim's screaming about killing everyone and the moderates claiming it's a religion of peace. I guess it depends on which parts you ignore.

Not only is it ironic, it's stupid.

I would have gone just to protest, but I had nothing to wear.

Of course, Spain has a long history of anti-semitism.

The Spaniards should just keep themselves busy being pretty (and playing football). Nobody really cares what they think.
