13. Israel is easily the most progressive country in the Middle East when it comes to gay rights

Israel is the only country in the region that has laws against anti-homosexual discrimination.

Israel allows openly gay soldiers to serve in the military.

Israel is the only country in the region that recognizes same-sex marriages.

Gay Pride parades are held in cities and towns all across Israel, not just Tel Aviv.

There is nothing even remotely close to the environment that gays enjoy in Israel anywhere in the Middle East - including Turkey, Lebanon, and especially Jordan.

Israel is easily the most progressive country in the Middle East when it comes to gay rights. I find it hard to believe that anyone would attempt to dispute that.
