AN estimated 150,000 people marched yesterday in Israel’s coastal metropolis Tel Aviv for the Middle East’s largest Pride parade, amid protests against the presence of anti-LGBTQ ministers in the government.
Revellers in colourful outfits danced on and around floats playing music on the seafront promenade of Israel’s cultural and financial hub, seen as a rare oasis of LGBTQ tolerance in the region, AFP journalists said.
