Jerusalem’s LGBTQ + pride returns after coronavirus
The Jerusalem March for Pride and Tolerance will take place on Thursday, June 3 after being canceled last year due to the coronavirus outbreak, according to the Jerusalem Open Day.
The event will start at 2:30 p.m. at Liberty Bell Park with an opening rally, and then begin walking down Keren Hayesod Street at 3:30 p.m. towards Independence Park.
Unlike most years, there will be no rally at the end of the march. Instead, everyone will go home or to a viewing party and watch a special Pride event broadcast on Facebook Live.
It is important to note that the parade can only be entered and exited from specific points: Liberty Bell Park, the entrance to the King Solomon hotel, rue Ben Maimon by place de Paris and rue Histadrut at the corner of the Hillel Street. The entrances and exits will only be open when the march reaches them, with the exception of the entrance to Liberty Bell Park which will be open before.

Tel Aviv Municipality and Aguda – the Association for LGBTQ Equality in Israel – have so far not released an official calendar of pride events in the city and have not officially commented on the march. of independent pride scheduled for June 11.
According to Channel 12, the Tel Aviv municipality was outraged after the unofficial Tel Aviv pride event was announced in April, with a municipality official saying it was “plagiarism, not a parade”.
“The parade as we know it is currently banned in the state of Israel,” added the then official. “If the state allows it, obviously we will and we will be able to launch it in a few weeks. It’s not a trademark like Coca-Cola, but when you say the Tel Aviv Pride Parade, you know what that it is. is – and that’s not what this group does. They might call it pizza, it won’t turn it into pizza. The parade is our brand. “
According to a Facebook post published in April by the Independent Pride Parade, Eurovision star Netta Barzilai agreed to perform at the event. Barzilai said in the post that she was “proud and excited” to announce that she will be performing on the parade stage at Yarkon Park.
