Israeli Pride
The Tel Aviv Tourist Association, warmly backed by Mayor Ron Huldai, has launched a six-month outreach program to encourage gay and lesbian travelers from around the world to visit the city. The program will offer discounted flight and hotel packages, free city tours and discounts. It's currently oriented towards the communities in Germany and France, but the intention is to expand the program to other international markets after the six-month launch period is up.
I can't vouch for the club scene but I'm a serious foodie, and you can believe me when I tell you that Tel Aviv offers some world-class dining. And the beach is beautiful. The city's a little grubby, but it's got a great, friendly, good-humored charm. We're subscribers to a couple of theaters in Tel Aviv and it's always a pleasure going into town. I heartily back this initiative. Welcome, one and all!

Re: Israeli Pride
Just curious: Do you have to provide proof of gayness to be eligible? If so, what constitutes proof?
Gay and lesbian travelers considering a Mediterranean whirlwind tour might also wish to consider a stop in Istanbul: Many delights await you here! I've heard good things about Pride Travel. Viewer discretion is advised.

Claire, if you wanna go together, I'd vouch for your gayness to get us through the gate, and I have several outfits from the late 90's that demonstrate credible proof of mine.

I have a couple pairs of pale blue denim overalls that I don't wear anymore, because I got too fat.....?

Re: Israeli Pride
I suppose that if you're gay and living in Dusseldorf, Tel Aviv is practically West Beach. It could work...
