A bomb in Jerusalem exploded Friday near the route of this year’s gay pride parade, injuring a worker near the West Bank separation fence. Police suspect that ultra-Orthodox Jews may have planted a bomb near the route out of protest of the parade taking place.
Noa Sattah, executive director of advocacy group Jerusalem Open House, said the attack was just one example of violence against LGBT people internationally.
“Morally bankrupt religious bigotry will never deter us from our struggle for freedom of expression and full and equal civil and religious rights,” Sattah said in a statement.
