Its finally here, how exciting – the GLBT Pride parade 2008 will go down in chemically induced flames of passion, lots of electronic noise and extravagant outfits: this Friday, June 6, on the streets of Tel Aviv. The TLV Parade is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, and in many ways the whole event is returning to its sources… The financial support and production is in the hands of the city hall, the actual parade will pass through shaded streets and will strut along the “wild side” area of Ben Yehuda Street.
The parade will start its way in Meir Garden - where the mayor of Tel Aviv will officially kick off a new city center for the GLBT community of TLV. The center had opened its doors to the public four months ago and every week some 400 people come here to enjoy its services (support groups for GLBT youth, groups for the older community, for the Trans community, a support group for gays and lesbians preparing for their army draft and a group for parents). From Meir Garden the parade will continu to Tchernichovsky St. and into Bugrashov (Bugrachov) St. and its lovely cafes… When Bugrashov meets Ben Yehuda St. the real party begin…The music will get louder and the vibes stronger. The parade will continue till the corner of Ben Yehuda and Ben Gurion and along the Ben Gurion blvd, into the sea, well not really the sea, but Gordon Beach.
Among the parading groups we will find the Israeli BDSM gang as well as the Trans.co.il family, the radical feminists of “Black Laundry” and leading the parade: Dykes on Bikes in black leather…
Gordon beach will host the parade’s main happening with live concerts of Ivry Lider, Maya buskila and Keren Peles (with a new song written for the happy occasion). Later on that night parties will take place all over the city and you are all invited…
Make it your business to get here by Friday. The TLV pride celebration is a fantastic excuse to visit Israel for the first time.
