I saw you post on WorldPride's livejournal. How are ya?

I'm a gay guy living in New York, and I speak some Hebrew. I've visited Israel a few times, and lived in Israel for a few years.

I'm really upset that that rabbis and priests and immams all got together this weekend and made a stink about WorldPride. An article about them appeared in the New York Times.

I'd like to know if there are tolerant and supportive rabbis, priests, and immams who can have a conference and make it into a New York Times article supporting WorldPride.

Know of any? Know who to contact to find out? I'm sure I'm not the first to think of the importance of such a thing.

Hi.

Well, they were hard to spot among all the articles I linked to in worldpride2005, but there are some. Many, really. There will be an Interfaith Gay Clergy Conference as part of WorldPride, and there are already some voices speaking for it. It's just more interesting for the media to cover the ones speaking against it. But hey, free press, right? Anyway, I'll give you the links to the pro articles:

Anyway, thanks for your support, and feel free to join worldpride2005 and post about your feelings. Are you planning on attending?

Shalom chatich, thanks again for what you posted in the WorldPride community page!

Your picture shows you are very proud of Israel, and that's a very good thing. I am watching a film this Thursday in New York called "Columbia Undone". It's about professors who don't tolerate college students who speak in favor of Israel in Columbia University! That is in New York City.

Have you heard of "Columbia Undone" in Israel? There is a discussion with the producer this Thursday after the film.

Hi
I posted a link to qaf_music in my HOR LJ community a while back. I believe my friend wethie is busy sharing some music there. I have 3 CD's of music that ran behind a B/J scene but I am interested in obtaining some other tunes as well. I hear you have quite the collection! Oh BTW please friend me!
