The annual March for Pride and Tolerance in Jerusalem continually provides an opportunity for members of the LGBTQ community and allies to come together and march proudly through the streets of Jerusalem spreading the message of love and tolerance.  This year’s march was a time to mark forty years since the riots at Stonewall and a time to reflect on the progress made for equality for all individuals.  The event was extremely successful and was a beautiful tribute not only to those who stood up forty years ago but to those who have stood up every day since preaching love and equality.
