13-12-14 Tel-Aviv: Alternative Sexual Liifestyles (ASL) protest

Photo: ===13-12-14 Tel-Aviv: Alternative Sexual Liifestyles (ASL) protest===
The protest followed the failure of an initiative for a law banning discrimination against people of ASL.  A few hundred people showed up. Compared to all other social protest demonstrations that I have attended over the past couple of years, this one was marked by close to perfect organization, coherent set of speakers with short messages.  For one, who lived for many years in LA and thought that have seen it all, I discovered many new identities I have never heard of. (the ASL acronym is my invention, the Hebrew original is too complicated to translate).
Conclusion:  Let's ask the ASL community to take over the entire social protest movement in Israel.
