What are the best gay events that take place in your city each year?

Pride month – a series of events held troughout June – and of course the Pride Parade are a huge event in Tel Aviv, growing bigger each year and attracting thousands of tourists. The city is colored with pride flags all around, and there are lots of parties during this time.
