The story

Jerusalem March for Pride and Tolerance in Jerusalem

Jerusalem March for Pride and Tolerance, organised since 2002 by Jerusalem Open House, is the city's LGBTQ Pride parade, drawing thousands each summer despite ultra-Orthodox opposition, marked by the 2015 stabbing attack that killed sixteen-year-old Shira Banki and by recent routes redirected toward the Knesset to press equality demands.

Jerusalem March for Pride and Tolerance has been held since 2002, organised by Jerusalem Open House for Pride and Tolerance, an LGBTQ community organisation, and it runs each summer as the city's Pride parade, drawing thousands of participants despite consistent opposition from ultra-Orthodox religious groups within the city.
