Posatponing the Worldpride A (2 be continued) algabel May 17 2005, 21:24:26 UTC

Dear board members, directors and activists of JOH and Interpride

Following hours of changing moods and feelings regarding the postponing of the Worldpride in Jerusalem, I came to the conclusion that I have to write you and to share with you my views of this unfortune decision taken by whom ever. Actually, following lot of discussions with various folks here in Israel and abroad in Europe, I know that I am expressing not only my views only, but thoughts shared by many.

As an Israeli and as a gay, as being very active in Israeli politics and having quite a network of connections in Europe, both, in business and in private affairs, I cannot at all understand the decision to postpone Worldpride Jerusalem. I even less understand the official reason given. Folks, it is ridiculous!!! (to be continued)

I strongly suggest you post this in a seperate, entire post, if you want it to be read, because that way it will be accessed more easily. I can pass this on to the other WP volunteers if you're interested.

I tried to post it in one, but it was to large and therefore not accepted. So I had to cut it. But if you can fix it in one by copy/paste and mail it, you are welcome, after all I have not to hide.
Many thanks,
AGE

I don't think it's too long to be a post. Not a comment, a post. And again, I offered to pass it on because it seems like you intended for others to read it too. It's up to you.

Now, lot of various bodies and individuals trying to "last minute" assist in making the event a success in privatly organized events and in privatly marketing visitor-porgramms and offers, pushing and pulling everyone within his/her nishes and networks. And then this ( ... )
