United...in Hatred

The major religions in Israel found something they can all agree on--hating gays:

International gay leaders are planning a 10-day WorldPride festival and parade in Jerusalem in August, saying they want to make a statement about tolerance and diversity in the Holy City, home to three great religious traditions.

Now major leaders of the three faiths - Christianity, Judaism and Islam - are making a rare show of unity to try to stop the festival. They say the event would desecrate the city and convey the erroneous impression that homosexuality is acceptable.

You'd think the various patriarchs would, oh, I don't know, spend more energy on trying to work towards peace in the region instead...
