On June 10, Israel time, Tel Aviv held its annual gay "Pride Parade".
According to Israeli media reports, more than 100,000 people participated in the celebrations of this coastal city.
Tel Aviv "Pride Parade"
Tel Aviv Gay Parade, also known as "Pride Parade", is a week-long series of activities for celebrations of LGBT groups such as homosexuals and transgenders, and is full of great controversy and opposition around the world.
LGBT is the abbreviation for lesbian, lesbian, bisexual and transgender .
LGBTQ is a popular variant that incorporates the letter Q that represents "non-heterosexual or disagrees with the gender of birth".
"Pride Parade" has been held since 1998 and is held in Tel Aviv, Israel on the second week of June every year. It is the largest gay pride parade in Middle East and Asia.
Tel Aviv also became the first city in Israel and the Middle East to hold a gay parade.
It is reported that the march has now entered its 23rd year, starting at noon and expected to end at around 7 pm.
Support from some political officials
As the high temperature in Tel Aviv reaches a new height, before the event began, the relevant departments issued several warnings, seriously worried that participants would overheat or dehydrate.
In addition, Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai and Social Equality Minister Meirav Cohen pointed out at the start of the celebration that other "pride parades" across Israel were threatened.
Cohen said her office is working to open more LGBTQ centers outside Tel Aviv.
Participants of this year's parade marched along Rokach Avenue in the north of the city, rather than following the traditional routes in downtown Tel Aviv.
According to media reports, this change is due to the extensive construction work carried out throughout the city as part of the new light rail system.
Transport Minister and Labor Leader Merav Michaeli pointed out the importance of the new route, which she said was used for the first march in Tel Aviv.
Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, who also attended the meeting, emphasized his efforts on behalf of the LGBTQ community, including the first decision to fly the "pride flag" outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last year.
"We are winning the battle for the LGBTQ community, but that's not over yet, we have to continue leading it because as long as there is an LGBT child on the periphery that needs our protection, we will move forward for their honor," Rapid said.
According to the Tel Aviv city government, last year's event marked "the largest such parade held worldwide since the outbreak of COVID-19 ", attracting about 100,000 people.
Feelings
Although Israel and Jews are voters of יהוה, today there are many Jews who are secularized Jews and no longer focus on believing in יהוה and truth. Values and lifestyles have been secularized, and therefore accept homosexuality and excessive "freedom".
Let us Pray for Israel! Repent before Him!
