Some 5,000 people gathered in Jerusalem to take part in the capital’s 10th annual Gay Pride Parade on Thursday.
Participants assembled in Independence Park downtownwere addressed by Adam Russo, a member of the gay community, who was stabbed during the pride march in 2005. In an interview with Channel 10 news, Russo said that while it took him several years to overcome his distress over the attack, he has long since moved on. He also acknowledged that today the gay community does not feel the same hatred from the general population.
