      There's that great video that's gone around a couple times exploring the history of how Israel uses sex to sell itself. Seems they use "gay tolerance" and pride imagery as a way to advertise it as a place of sexual freedom in a fetishistic way, not in an actual liberatory kind of way.

          Yeah effectively, the video says it's part of the same strategy. No clue where I'd even begin to look for it. I think it got posted on here at one point.

        I would imagine with unavoidable global surveillance big data, this becomes super easy to make sure each person sees whichever message would encourage a positive view of Israel.

      I thought the story there was that marriage is left to the temples and the temples are so universally bigoted that you aren't going to be able to get gay-married, but it's not actually illegal.

      Death to Israel, if it needs clarification.

      Tel Aviv is the only even remotely gay friendly part of Israel. It's comparable to saying Texas is an LGBTQ haven because Austin exists. And even that doesn't do it justice, if anything, I'm being too nice to Israel by comparing them to Texas on LGBTQ rights.
