Jerusalem Pride revelers call on Netanyahu to resign

Marchers at the Jerusalem Pride Parade are calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign, expressing anger over a recently passed surrogacy law that excludes homosexual fathers.

Marchers carry signs calling to replace the government and demanding greater social justice in Israel. Some are seen with signs denouncing the recently passed nation-state law as “shameful.”

This year’s festivities are mixed with outrage after Netanyahu last month pledged to pass legislation supporting surrogacy for gay fathers, but then voted against it, apparently under pressure from ultra-Orthodox Jewish coalition partners.
