Gay Tel Aviv Guide

A new web site launched by three Israelis offers great information for gay people interested in traveling to Tel Aviv. The Gay Tel Aviv Guide went live a few weeks ago to coincide with Pride Month in Tel Aviv, one of the world's friendliest GLBT travel destinations.

From the Jerusalem Post:

"'We try to show what being gay in Israel is all about,' [co-founder Ron] Shoshani said, pointing out that Israel's treatment of gays is different than in nearby countries. For example, he said, being gay in the Israeli army is not problematic, but homosexuality in the Turkish army is an issue. 'There are countries that are more advanced than Israel, let's say Canada,' he said. 'Israel is somewhere above the average.'"

The site has lots of facts about gay culture in Israel, and offers accommodations and nightlife tips, photos, and videos, including this one showing clips from one of my favorite movies, Yossi & Jagger.



So sweet...
