Leaders from both faiths have united to denounce the parade, which has prompted nights of street protest by ultra-orthodox Jews, who regard homosexuality as an "abomination", and death threats against those taking part. Jews and Muslims unite against homosexuals

I have had this disagreement with many. The march is not going past the Dome of the Rock. However, I would remind one of how lethal this parade would be in Mecca.
The mere imagining of such a parade in Makkah boggles the mind!
winesy, we must all find our own path to happiness in life.
Sometimes this is dangerous, especially when the faith that you were brought up with divides your family and friends.
That is why so many are leaving Islam.
I know of a woman who was married and had three children with a Bangaldeshi.
When he wanted to take another wife she wanted to leave and he divorced her.
He sent the children away to his family and she has not seen them since.
She has left Islam and attends a Christian Evangelist Church where she is welcome and has new friends to support her.
Such are the results of oppressive beliefs that leave no room for the obvious human differences.
Good luck to your Uncle and his friend. I hope they can be happy.
Life can be hard and lonely for many, who gives us the right to judge them? Enjoy your beer!

... he was, at once disowned by them for bringing shame on the family, ( the same family he had brought up for 11 years) and for his own safety had to leave.
he came to england in 1997 and has been here ever since, it breaks his heart that he has lost all contact with his family but he says he has never been happyer.
HE is an apostate, of islam and HE is my gay uncles boyfriend, and i know him well, and he is one the most decent, upstanding, brilliant, funny people i know.
A bitter-sweet end to a sad story!

I agree with you totally. Life can be very hard and lonely for some, especially homosexuals. Personally, I fail to see why people have such a problem with gays. They are human beings just like everyone else. They deserve to be left in peace, and deserve, too, to be given equal rights and opportunities.
But gays also have a responsibility to behave in a good and decent manner.
