Over 200,000 people converged on Tel Aviv for the city’s annual Gay Pride Parade for its 18th year of festivities on June 3.
“We’re slowly walking toward a more equal, more respectful society that allows all human beings to express themselves as they see fit,” said Ron Huldai, mayor of Tel Aviv.
Acceptance of same-sex relationships in Israel is growing rapidly. According to a recent survey, 90 percent of secular Israelis support same-sex marriage, 77 percent of traditional Jews, 46 percent of national religious Jews, and 16 percent of the ultra-Orthodox support the marriage of same-sex couples.
Israel does not recognize same-sex marriages even though it is one of the most “progressive” of nations in the Middle East. The Knesset voted down a series of gay rights bills recently.
“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot…”

after a Gay Pride parade day event occurred in Chicago, IL the next day approximately over 300,000 news media reported home were without power and large rain storms occurred during the time I was walking and riding a City bus.

Friday July 1st, 2016 at 07:29 AMIt will one day be impossible to live in towns, cities, villagers. We will have to live on farms and take our christian education by internet, or home schooling. We must leave the world behind and not worry about career’s but concentrate on getting ready for Jesus return and spreading the gospel and the three angels messages
