Days after an antigay extremist stabbed six people at Jerusalem Pride, including a teenager who later died of her injuries (an attack praised by some via anonymous posters), Israeli news service YNet sent out two brave men to test how homophobic the city really is.

Turns out; it's quite antigay, though not near the levels seen in similar experiments in Moscow and the Ukranian capital of Kiev, where the gay-appearing men were attacked. In Jerusalem, no one physically assaulted the men, but they were subjected to frightening profanity and ephithets. And, of course, nearly everyone stopped and gawked at them like zoo animals.
