Abstract

The LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning) community is warmly embraced by the city of Tel Aviv. This phenomenon is exemplified by the fact that the Tel Aviv City Hall has been taking a leading part in the organization, financing, and promotion of Pride parades and events in recent years. The present article analyzes a quantitative survey of overseas participants in the 2016 Pride events in Tel Aviv. It explores the motivations, attitudes, satisfaction, and behaviors of tourists, both LGBTQ+ and non- LGBTQ+. The results show that Tel Aviv is perceived as gay friendly by all participants, regardless of their affiliation with the LGBTQ+ community. We discuss the advantages of being a gay-friendly city via high visibility and social inclusion. Finally, we address ‘pinkwashing’, an umbrella term employed to describe the efforts by Israeli authorities to promote a positive image of Israel despite its questioned geopolitical reputation.

特拉维夫的"辣妹

LGBTQ+(女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人和质疑者)社区受到特拉维夫市的热烈欢迎。近年来，特拉维夫市政厅一直在组织、资助和推广骄傲游行和活动方面发挥主导作用，这就是这种现象的例证。本文分析了2016年特拉维夫骄傲节海外参与者的定量调查。它探讨了LGBTQ+和非LGBTQ+游客的动机、态度、满意度和行为。结果显示，所有参与者都认为特拉维夫对同性恋友好，无论他们是否属于LGBTQ+社区。我们讨论了通过高知名度和社会包容性成为一个同性恋友好城市的优势。最后，我们讨论“洗粉”，这是一个总括性的术语，用来描述以色列当局努力促进以色列的积极形象，尽管其地缘政治声誉受到质疑。
