The highlight of these celebrations is the Tel Aviv Pride Parade, which attracts over 250,000 international participants from all over the world, making it the largest LGBTQ event in Asia as of June 2019. You might be surprised to find out, but Tel Aviv Pride is a major event in Israel, drawing attendees from around the globe to celebrate love, acceptance, and equality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it&#8217;s also important to note that LGBTQ+ rights still have a long way to go in Israel. Same-sex marriage is not recognized, and adopting a child is a long and arduous process for LGBTQ+ couples. This juxtaposition highlights both the progress and the challenges that remain for the LGBTQ+ community in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pride Parade<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Israel\u2019s Pride movement can be traced back to a protest in 1979 at Rabin Square, considered the first major gay rights demonstration in the country. The first official Tel Aviv Pride Parade was held in 1993.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The parade used to start at Meir Park, moving along Bugrashov Street, Ben Yehuda Street, and Ben Gurion Boulevard, and ended with a massive party at Charles Clore Park on the seafront. The event saw 200,000 participants in 2016, establishing it as one of the largest Pride parades globally. By 2017, attendance had increased to over 200,000, including around 30,000 tourists. The parade continued to grow, with over 250,000 participants in both 2018 and 2019. Tel Aviv is notable for being the first Israeli city to host a Pride parade. Additionally, smaller annual pride parades are held in Jerusalem, Haifa, and Be\u2019er Sheva.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pride in Israel 2024<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this year, due to the ongoing war, the annual Pride Parade isn\u2019t taking place. Instead, on Thursday, June 6th, the Tel Aviv Pride and Hope Assembly took place at Charles Clore Park by the sea. This special event symbolized hope and unity during challenging times, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds to celebrate love, acceptance, and progress. Participants stood together in solidarity and resilience, envisioning a brighter future for the LGBTQ community and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hameshulash.com\/dramaqueen24\"><b>&#8220;Drama Queen&#8221; LGBTQ Theatre Festival (June 13th &#8211; 15th)<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year check out the third annual &#8220;Drama Queen&#8221; LGBTQ Theatre Festival, celebrating the rich and diverse world of LGBTQ theater.
