Fulfillment
"In Israel, we have an essential need for manpower. We can't afford to have our
gay men and women feel uncomfortable while they are serving. We need them."
— Israeli gay rights activist Anat Nir quoted in "Can Gay Friendliness Boost Israel's
Image?" (JTA, June 16). StandWithUs, a U.S.-based Israel advocacy group, hosted U.S. and
European journalists and gay activists in a panel discussion prior to Tel Aviv's Gay Pride
Parade. Soldiers talked about gays in the Israel Defense Forces. In the late 1980s, the IDF
reversed its policy of not promoting gay soldiers to the rank of commander. In Israel, which
depends on nationwide conscription to fill its ranks, the issue of homosexuality has been
less divisive than it has been in the U.S. Army.
