Pictured is an image from an Israeli newspaper covering the 1998 Pride Parade in Tel Aviv (originally called the “Love Parade”). 🌈 This Pride Month, there will be marches throughout Israel themed “Born to be Free,” calling for the hostages’ release as well as LGBTQ+ rights—freedom for all.⁠ ⁠ Inspired by the Stonewall Uprising, an event bringing to light the severe injustices the LGBTQ+ community faced, Israeli Pride Parades highlight this spirit of fighting for equality. Israel’s Pride Parades are even some of the largest in the world.⁠ ⁠ Birthright Israel hopes you are proud of who you are. We sure are proud of you. Happy Pride Month; we hope to see you at your local pride parade! 🏳️‍🌈🤍🇮🇱⁠ ⁠ 📷: The Agudah – The Association for LGBTQ Equality in Israel⁠ ⁠ #pride #pridemonth #telavivpride #jerusalempride #prideparade
