The image of Tel Aviv as a liberal gay haven was shattered last year when a gunman injured 15 and killed two youths at an LGBT community center a few months before I was headed there for a study abroad program.

Constance McMillen, the lesbian who wanted to bring her girlfriend to prom, has switched schools to avoid bullying.

Right-Wingers Won’t Shop The Gap Until Ads Spotlight Jesus
The American Family Association is being such a stage mom to Jesus and was boycotting the Gap for not using the word “Christmas” — we’ll tell you why that boycott is now on hold.
