Synopsis
A look at the "pink revolution" in Israel ten years after its success. In 1988 homosexuality was still a crime in the country and very few lived openly as homosexuals. Gay and lesbian declarations in the arts and media were subject to censorship. Gays were excluded from the army, the police and other public institutions. Moreover, police brutality against gays and transsexuals was the order of the day. In 1998, it was officially forbidden to discriminate against people on account of their sexual orientation. Nowadays Israel's gay and lesbian community is one of the most flourishing in the western world. The community is represented in prominent positions in civil, military and state institutions, many gays and lesbians are now in the front lines of Israel's civil society. Here, we explore what made the "pink community" in Israel so successful in a society more commonly associated with conflict and racism.
