Tel Aviv Gay Pride – What is there to look forward to?

15 May 2013 – 1:25 am | One Comment

Tel Aviv Gay Pride 2011

When researching my previous post on the top summer destinations for gay travelers, I stumbled on the Flickr photography by Tom Giebel of Atomische.

I’ll be taking photos and videos of the event, so be sure you stay tuned and subscribe!
