Tel Aviv Pride Organisers Positive About Celebrating Pride Month
Pride events all around the globe are being either canceled or postponed and Tel Aviv has now become the next casualty, postponing the parade for a later date.
Other Pride events have been canceled in Israel although it is hoped that they will be moved for a later date during the summer. Although the Tel Aviv Pride will not take place from June 7 to June 13 as initially planned, Pride Month will still be celebrated in Israel through virtual events.
Tel Aviv’s Pride Parade is celebrated as one of the world’s leading LGBT+ events with last year’s event attracting more than 250,000 people from around the world.
According to ‘Haaretz’, organisers of Pride events in Israel said in their joint announcements that various virtual events “will commemorate the LGBT struggle for equality, together with expressing solidarity for the difficulties experienced by Israelis and a salute to the employees of the health care system and all of the organizations aiding them.”
Etai Pinkas Arad, a Tel Aviv-Jaffa city counselor in charge of LGBT+ affairs stated that “We’ll aim to Hold the parade toward the end of the summer, in the hope that circumstances allow for it.”
