I'm also gonna emphasize this. The WP events are being postponed, they're by no means called off.

No, they may be postponed. Nothing official has been stated yet because the Israeli government hasn't officially stated when they will pull out of Gaza.

To the best of my knowledge (and sadly), it is official. :(

It's been on GoGay (I can't remember the English version addy, but I'm sure shape5 can help out with that).

You're absolutely right. I retract that statement. I'm also really sad.

It seems that as of yesterday:
Following the Israeli Prime Minister's decision to postpone the launch date of the Gaza pullout to August 16, the Jerusalem Open House (JOH) today announced that the Jerusalem WorldPride events have been rescheduled, and will take place on August 6-12, 2006.

*hugs* Thank you for finding these links (is it okay to edit them into the post?) and I'm glad to see you care too! I believe when the events are held, they'll be worth the wait, though! :)
