By the time we got our act together, organised a few bicycles to ride around the city for the day and go see the festivities of the Gay Pride parade it was already late afternoon, but this did not stop the festivity goers from partying through the heat of the day on the main beach front in Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is open and welcoming to the Gay community, there was even some talk in the papers lately of the tourism ministry promoting the Pink Shekel (gay tourism) less said about Jerusalem where last year's attempt to hold a rally caused lots of protest and compromises.Gay pride parties are renowned to be a good party, and guess what the participants were Jewish as well!

i had read about 2 years ago that they were going to open one of those cheap flights between hamburg/cologne and tel aviv to connect gay cities (and try and make them gay capitals of the world). i guess it didnt happen but it would be good to get one of those cheap 5 euro flights to europe. maybe soon...
