A Health Fair, Women's Day, and LGBT Youth Day each drew several hundred participants. A MULTI-FAITH RELIGIOUS CONFERENCE may have been something of a first, as lay people and clergy gathered at Hebrew Union College for several plenary sessions, speeches, and unique dialogue, while a concluding silent vigil at Jerusalem's Liberty Bell Park protesting anti-queer religious rhetoric and abuse replaced the planned Pride march. This report by This Way Out's GREG GORDON includes comments by RABBIS SHARON KLEINBAUM and AYELHE COHEN of New York City's Congregation Beth Simchat Torah; IRSHAD MANJI, the best-selling author of "The Trouble With Islam Today: A Muslim's Call for Reform in Her Faith"; and NOA SATTAH of Jerusalem Open House, the major organizers of the week's events (with intro/outro music from "Kalarash" by METROPOLITAN KLEZMER) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6:25 [www.worldpride.net] SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by New Zealand's first openly-gay federal Cabinet Minister CHRIS CARTER [:15] + Pulitzer-nominated author TOM SPANBAUER is most widely known for his epic novel "The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon."
