This year, pride events in the city will be marked by the theme of: 20 years since the first gay pride parade in the city. The event, which has been held since and every year, serves as one of the central tools in the community's embrace of acceptance and equality. The logo for events is titled "Community Makes History", with the intention of giving special expression to the diverse spectrum of colors that make up Tel Aviv's LGBTQ community. The logo's characters are waving the flag that has become a symbol of tolerance, acceptance of the other, and the aspiration for equality. The logo will also be featured in an animated video, with the song "Diva" by Dana International in the background.
