JERUSALEM — Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox deputy mayor plans to march 50 donkeys through the streets of the Holy City to coincide with a gay pride parade on Thursday, his office said.
“This expresses what we think — that this is a beastly act,” Rabbi Yitzhak Pindrus, who represents the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party on the city council, told the Ynet news website.
His spokesman Menahem Zaide declined to link the donkey march to the parade, saying only: “Donkeys also have rights to be recognised as couples.
“We are in favour of donkey rights,” he told AFP.
So basically, they’re replicating NOM’s bus tour with animals.

Screw you and your ridiculous invisible sky fairy nonsense.
I will never understand these types of religious nuts (or any homophobic nut, for that matter.) They never seem to realize that the world doesn’t just belong to them.
This is the worst kind of religion, and I think it expresses itself in fundamentalist belief systems of all types.
Whether Jewish, Christian, Muslim or any other kind of belief system, many believe that they have special favor in the eyes of God and are therefore free to behave this way, or even obligated to do so. These people are an embarrassment to the human race.
I don’t get it. What kind of point is Pindris trying to make?
Brilliant move. This will smart among the pride people. Asinine rights! Yeah!
