"Later this year, the first monument to gay individuals persecuted by the Nazis in WWII will be constructed in Tel Aviv's Meir Park."

"The inscription on the memorial will read, "To the memory of those persecuted by the Nazi regime for their sexual preference and gender identity.""

Kia Ora,

It's great they are doing this, however I can't help but wonder how the strict Jewish orthodox people are going to take it...After all they are not the most trans and gay friendly people...

Tel Aviv is a very progressive city and is the center of the Israeli GLBTQ community.

"Aguda" was founded there in 1975.
