According to some new polling, and surely unsurprisingly, many Jerusalemites don't want these LGBT pride parades around here anymore:

A new poll conducted by Miskar and initiated by the Bechira Foundation has revealed what Jerusalem residents think of the "Pride Parade" scheduled to take place on Thursday.

A full 87% of residents do not intend to take part in the parade or watch it, and 79% of Jerusalem residents oppose or are indifferent to the parade. Only about one-fifth (21%) of Jerusalemites said that they support holding the parade in their city.

The poll also showed that at least 87% of those who said they will not participate in the parade or watch it feel, among other things, severe hurt, shame, and sadness that the parade is taking place. Approximately 70% of Jerusalem residents believe that the municipality should not support the parade or hang "pride" flags throughout the city.

Over 55% of respondents say that the parade was forced upon the city's residents and that it harms the sanctity of Jerusalem; about 60% say that the Supreme Court should not have been allowed to force the parade to be held by means of emotional and ethics manipulations.

Rabbi Dror Arye, founder of the Bechira Foundation, said, "This poll is encouraging and brings joy. Jerusalem says a definite 'no' to the anti-normal attempts at coercion. Jerusalem residents see importance in preserving the city's special character; holding the pride parade greatly hurts the feelings of Jerusalem's residents, Jews and Arabs alike."

He continued, "The parade in Jerusalem does not bring benefit to LGBTs - it does the opposite. It hurts those who want to manage their tendencies and build a normal family, and even increases the rift and the alienation between the various populations which are hurt as a result of the secular coercion done in the name of enlightenment."

"I hope that Mayor Moshe Lion will see the pain of the city's residents and act differently during his next term as Jerusalem mayor."

More importantly, let's hope a good choice for mayor will be elected in the next round. For now, what this makes clear is that even the Arabic residents of the city don't support it. Though lest we forget, the parade obviously wasn't intended as something to be forced upon Islamists, that's for sure.

As encouraging as the poll is, we must hope the Judaist community will recognize that insular customs like what the Haredis go by influence subjects into becoming homosexual, and if they really, truly don't want their sons to grow up that way, they'd do well to cut out any customs that cause mental damage and lead to a situation where golems are created. For example, they have to cease all this hysterical sex-negative BS that includes the demand a woman dress modestly, and that female imagery be censored. When you have that kind of conduct going around, you can't be shocked if it ends up turning religious subjects LGBT themselves, and worse.

Something to consider: I once heard a neighbor say that a real rabbi doesn't enforce dress codes for women, or make hysterical bones about them. And that's something today's rabbinical figures will have to ponder.
