Perez Hilton Kicks Off Pride Week In Tel Aviv

Perez Hilton is a figurehead of the LGBTQ community so it’s not surprise that he’s attending pride events in more than one city around the world.
First stop: Tel Aviv!
The star posted a picture on Instagram of his face on the cover of “Israel Hayom,” the largest newspaper in Israel.
He also posted a picture of himself partying dad-style.
Hilton called Tel Aviv’s pride festivities “like no other I have been to before,” calling the celebration “a beacon of hope and acceptance in the Middle East.”
Although Hilton is not himself Jewish, he once tweeted about the “kinship” he feels with Jewish people.
Pride festivities will be taking place all over the world for LGBT Pride Month.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
