TEL AVIV KICKS OFF 2015 GAY PRIDE MONTH

American actress Tori Spelling promotes Donna Martin pride party
Tel Aviv's municipal building lit up with the colors of the rainbow as the city's famous gay pride festival opened. The festival has in recent years become a major feature on the international LGBT scene, with thousands travelling from abroad to enjoy the festivities, and this year the event is set to be bigger and better than ever.

As well as the annual Pride Parade on June 12 through the streets of the city, which last year attracted over 100,000 people, this year the celebrations will also include a huge dance party at the city's Bloomfield Stadium the day after, event organizers announced.

The party, which will begin on Saturday, June 13, at 2 pm and continue into the night, is set be the biggest party of its kind ever held in Israel.

is the only place in the neighborhood they can be out like that and not get killed so I'm not surprised the festival gets a lot of support.
