The Jerusalem District Court on Monday ordered the Jerusalem Municipality to fund the Gay Pride Parade held by The Jerusalem Open House for Pride and Tolerance.

Judge Judith Tsur accepted a petition submitted by the Open House and ordered the municipality to pay NIS 350,000 as part of the funding for the cultural and social activities held by the establishment in the years 2003-2005.

The Open House's petition demanded that the municipality include the gay rights establishment on the list of non-profit organizations to which the municipality allocates funding.
