STORYLINE:
Israel's gay community held a gay pride march through the streets of Jerusalem on Thursday.
Supported by many calling for tolerance of alternative lifestyles, the march attracted some 2,500 people.
"This community is alive and we want to live," said Yosef Abkin, an architect from Haifa, northern Israel, during the march
"Keep living in Jerusalem, keep building our lives here and this is our capital."
The march went peacefully on the whole, although one man was arrested on suspicion of throwing stink bombs at the march.
Unperturbed, the march continued.
Where the Israeli city of Tel Aviv has become a top destination for the gay community in recent years, considered one of the few places in the Middle East where gays feel free to walk hand-in-hand and kiss in public, Jerusalem has a much smaller gay scene.
Even so, in July, Tel Aviv police announced they had arrested four suspects in connection with the killing of two people at a gay youth centre in Tel Aviv four years ago, what was then seen as the most homophobic attack in Israel's history.
In 2005, an ultra-Orthodox protester in Jerusalem stabbed three marchers at a gay pride parade.
Ultra-Orthodox Jews gathered away from Thursday's parade to peacefully protest the fact it was taking place.
"In the Bible it is written when there is homosexuality it brings flood, it brings earthquakes," said Efraim Holtzberg, a Jerusalem resident, in protest.
