The right to be different

Tens of thousands of people (according to the organizers-100 thousand) went to the gay parade in Tel Aviv on June 12.
Women and men, in carnival costumes and swimsuits, with rainbow flags with a star of David (in the photo on the left) and without, in piles and military berets (in the photo above - gays from Russia) are people of different beliefs, races, nationalities, homosexuals and heterosexuals in the country where the social sphere (birth, marriage, death) is regulated (same -sex marriages in Israel are not allowed), where behind each turn is the name or name from the Bible, where three world religions converge at the intersections - all of them celebrated their right to be different.
And those who, by virtue of views or prejudices, were not to the liking of the gay parade, were simply aside. And the police guarded both of them.
