Tel Aviv Gay Pride - CSD .12.06.2009 !

GRÖSSTE SCHWULENPARADE IN NAHOST

Festival des Regenbogens   

Drag Queens, bunte Kostüme und viel nackte Haut: In Tel Aviv zogen Zehntausende Schwule, Lesben und Bisexuelle durch die Straßen. Die größte Gay Parade im Nahen Osten verlief trotz Proteste strenggläubiger Juden friedlich - und ganz im Sinne der Tourismusbranche.

Tel Aviv - Die israelische Mittelmeermetropole Tel Aviv hat am Freitag wieder die größte Schwulenparade im Nahen Osten gefeiert. Bekleidet mit Phantasiekostümen verwandelten die Teilnehmer die weiße Stadt, wie Tel Aviv wegen seiner großen Zahl von Häusern im Bauhaus-Stil genannt wird, in ein Festival der Farben. Während einer großen Strandparty sollten zum Abschluss der 11. Schwulenparade am Abend fünf Paare getraut werden.

Tel Aviv, das in diesem Jahr seinen 100. Jahrestag feiert, ist die schwulen- und lesbenfreundlichste Stadt im Nahen Osten. Ein Viertel der rund 400.000 Einwohner sind nach Angaben des israelischen GLBT-Verbandes Schwule, Lesben, Bisexuelle und Transgender - letztere also Menschen, die sich mit ihrer zugewiesenen Geschlechtsrolle nicht wohl fühlen.

Die Tourismusbranche wirbt mit "Gay Capital" (Schwulenhauptstadt) für die Mittelmeermetropole. 

In Israel gilt als einzigem Land in der Region seit 2001 ein Antidiskriminierungsgesetz. Homosexuelle Paare, die im Ausland geheiratet haben, können beispielsweise ihre Ehe in Israel registrieren und anerkennen lassen. Der CSD 2010 wird am 11.06.2010 in Tel Aviv statt finden.

It is a well known fact that Tel Aviv has become one of the main gay metropolitans of the world. Some even say that in certain aspects (probably the craziness and loudness), Tel Aviv is even a competitor to cities like Berlin or New York.

Unfortunately, I am straight as an arrow, so my only chance to experience some real gay fun are big public events like the Tel Aviv gay pride parade, and thank goodness it is finally here, because I could use a boost of adrenalin (or any other legal substance) right about now.

This is the 10th year that the parade has been taking place - The tradition began in 1998 with just a couple of hundred partiers, and has grown rapidly into an event with over 100,000 participants that seems to get wetter and wilder every year.

Tel Aviv = TLV .

This year the parade will start from Gan Meir, where a brand new and one of a kind center for the gay community of TLV was recently open. The gathering at the center will include lots of very loud music, some activity booths and even a performance by the official youth gay band of Tlv. This has just got to be a funny sight.

The actual parade will begin with a kick off from Ron Huldai’s who is the mayor of Tlv (who I have kind of a soft spot for since he used to be my high school principal…).The parade will continue into Bugrashov St., turn e to Ben Yehuda St. from there, then turn to Ben Gurion Blvd. and straight to Gordon beach, where the insanity will then take over.

You should definitely bring your bathing suit (or any other kind of minimal wear you’re kinky mind can think of) because once the parade hits the beach you will be in the water in no time.
We, the Israelis, just have to admit that us straight folk don’t know how to really party and we need some help from our gay friends. The beauty of this event is that it brings together all sorts of people with only one agenda on their mind: fun!!We will be happy to see you in Tel Aviv with us in June !
