Israel’s big gay heart

February 4, 2007 - 12:51 PM by

Amid the sexual scandals swirling around the country’s leaders, it’s refreshing to read something about true love.

Last week, Jerusalem residents Avi and Binyamin Rose returned to Jerusalem after having married in Toronto, Canada, in June.

They were the first gay couple to registered their marriage in Israel following a Nov. 29 ruling by the High Court of Justice requiring the Israeli government to register same-sex marriages of gay Israelis legally wed abroad.

The story got lots of play around the world, and especially made Israel look good in the gay press – like this entry in the Gay/Lesbian News.
