Never mind that among the many flavors of Judaism, the Hasidim are the most extreme, we see here that the Hasidim are intolerent to other flavors of Judaism.
2014 also saw the 12th Annual Gay Pride Parade in Jerusalem. While attendance was down from previous years, thousands still attended the parade Thursday night hosted by Jerusalem Open House. Hundreds of police officers and border guards secured the parade as tensions were high. Israel has liberal LGBT rights policies despite the hostility shown toward LGBT people, particularly men, from the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community. And the parade in Jerusalem has been a target for their anger in past years.

About Art
55 years old. By training, ability and experience I am a master toolmaker. My most recent projects include designing and building a process to grind a G rotor pump shaft with four diameters and holding all four diameters within plus or minus 4 microns of nominal. This was an automated process using two centerless grinders refitted to my specifications using automatic load and unload machines plus automatic feedback gauging. I also designed and built an inspection machine to check for the presence and size of a straight knurl on a hinge pin using a vision system for non-contact gauging.
