With its stunning beaches, vibrant gay nightlife, much-heralded reputation arts and fashion scene, trendy restaurant scene, the energetic - and rather nocturnal - city of Tel Aviv is not only Israel's gay hub, it's the LGBT capital of the Middle East. The nation's second-largest city has a gay scene that rivals any in Europe or North America when it comes to sheer joie de vivre, and at no time is this spirit more evident than during June's Tel Aviv Gay Pride Parade. This year, the date of this largest Pride celebration in Asia is June 7, 2013.
