it must be amazing to have a birthday in the middle of Tel Aviv on Gay Pride day when everyone is celebrating, dancing in the streets. If I wasn’t so worried about seeing so many people in a rising corona situation, I’d be out there dancing.

Am I gay? who knows? but the point is that fay rights are human rights – equality is for all.

A few years ago I was walking with my 8 year-old grandson in Tel Aviv- On the way I pointed out the flags that were left over from Gay Pride, and I asked, “What are they?” “Oh,” he said, “They’re left over from Independence Day celebrations. On the way back, I pointed them out and asked, “Aren’t those Gay Pride flags?” “Oh,” he said and looked at me profoundly, “You know about those things?”
