The rainbow flags decorated the beach of Tel Aviv June 02, 2013, in anticipation of the upcoming “gay pride” parade.
I never understood the concept of gay pride. I was never proud of any of my own afflictions. I’ve battled them all my life, to the point where the battle itself is part of who I am. And I’ve learned a lot from my afflictions — after all, they were given me by God for a purpose. But pride?
I don’t think I’ll ever march in a fat pride parade. Or in a straight pride parade for that matter.
Let’s face it, I’m just not the pridin’, paradin’ type a’ guy.
Then this Haredi guy comes along, Â in his long coat and black yarmulke, just walking by, taking care of business on his cellphone.
The eye likes contrasted images. They don’t actually mean anything – but they’re not innocent.
When’s the Haredi pride parade? I’ll pay to see that one.
