Tel Aviv has been named the Best Gay City of 2011 in an international American Airlines competition selecting the most popular destinations among LGTB tourists via Ynetnews.com http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4174274,00.html
This would come to no surprise from those who have regularly visited TLV and know what a fantastic, vibrant and popular city this is.
What this really means though,is that the "boycott Israel" or"BDS"campaign,and persecutors of Israel, are probably frothing angry
The anti Israel groups, have made a good living printing lie upon lie about this little country, knowing that it is surrounded, by Arab nations who work quite hard persecuting Gays and Lesbians, and openly punishing anyone who is found out to be homosexual.
For your reference, here are the the LGBT rights of gays in countries around the world via wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_by_country_or_territory
Take a look at Israel on that list.
Maybe the boycott Israel campaign could tell us, why they support countries that persecute gays, yet boycott the only country where gays from surrounding regions try to flee to?
