We were accommodated at the gay-friendly Carlton Hotel right on the beachside Tel Aviv Marina. Motivated like crazy, we’ve got nothing to add, only: Let’s get the Pride Week Tel Aviv 2016 started! After very inspiring speeches of the orators, we could do interviews, photos, and selfies during sunset hour with a fantastic view over Tel Aviv. The location of this event over the roofs of Tel Aviv was stunning. Is this “Pink washing” or sincere support for the LGBTQ community? Our trip started with a cocktail party on a rooftop terrace in central Tel Aviv meeting the major of Tel Aviv and the two ambassadors of the Tel Aviv Pride actress Lea DeLaria and actor/ director Alan Cumming. There were rainbow flags, gay cafés, and restaurants with rainbow decorations all over the city. We didn’t experience any hostilities or violence while being openly gay travelers and visitors of Gay Pride Week Tel Aviv 2016.

The police later also said they arrested a husband and wife who assaulted police officers while trying to enter the parade area so they could heckle the event. The man in his 30s was found carrying nunchaku, an Asian martial arts weapon, as well as an electric shocker, chains and other “means of assault,” the police said. Police said they arrested a suspected attacker in Tel Aviv after tracking him ahead of the parade. A radical ultra-Orthodox Jew stabbed a 16-year-old girl to death at a Pride event in Jerusalem in 2015, an attack that was condemned across the political spectrum. Pride events in Jerusalem, home to a large ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, tend to be more subdued. Thousands of people marched through Jerusalem earlier this month in a much smaller Pride parade, celebrating LGBTQ rights in the conservative city amid heavy police security.
