Four day pride festival to be held at Dead Sea, largest in history of Middle East
Jerusalem post ^ | April 20, 2026 | ESTHER DAVIS

Posted on 04/20/2026 12:41:29 PM PDT by Morgana

Israel is set to host the Middle East’s largest ever LGBT festival at the Dead Sea in June 2026.

The new festival, Pride Land, intends to transform the middle of the Judean Desert into a colorful pride city from June 1 to June 4.

The event intends to create an experience broader than parties or performances, instead aiming for a space that is alive 24 hours a day, with 15 hotels, beach complexes, parties, and a central performance arena all operating around the clock.

Alongside the nightlife, Pride Land will have cultural and art complexes, relaxation and scenic areas, and family-friendly areas with children's activities, family-friendly workshops, and customized events.

The organizers hope to create a multigenerational “Pride City,” not just a party celebrating pride. “This is not just another festival, it's the biggest thing we've done here,” explained Aaron Cohen, main producer and initiator of the festival.

“We chose to grow," Cohen added. "To take an investment of millions, purchase entire hotels for 4 days, and build a city from scratch in the middle of the desert. It's an experience that lives 24/7, from quiet visits to nights of pride, with a living envelope of music and people.”

This is not just a pride event; it also aims to highlight the Dead Sea region as a permanent destination for LGBT tourists, emphasizing that Pride in Israel extends beyond the key hub of Tel Aviv.

Appropriate that they are purposely choosing a site near Sodom and Gomorrah.

“Israel is set to host the Middle East’s largest ever LGBT festival at the Dead Sea in June 2026.” The Jews, seriously?

I think the Kubutz that is hosting it needs cash.
The shrinking of the Dead Sea now has hotels about 500ft from the water’s edge.

This is appropriate.

Sodom and Gomorrah are located at the bottom of the Dead Sea.

Seems a good place for fags to go. To remind themselves of their coming destruction.

Israel has always been a big queer haven in the Middle East. Heck half those folks at the music festival massacre were probably queer.

This no surprise to anyone familiar with the Jewish. Action nor is the sport they picked to hold it. It is basically a spit in God’s eye kind of thing for them. They happily rebuild sodom.

Look I promise everyone here that if Tehran ever has gay pride parades I will post them in front page news. Until then, here you go.

Gay pride and “family friendly” don’t belong in the same sentence.

” What exactly is it they’re so proud of?”

I googled it...here is what I found...to name a few

HIV: A virus that damages the immune system; gay men are at high risk, though PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is highly effective at preventing it.

Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia: These bacterial infections can infect the penis, rectum, or throat.
HPV (Human Papillomavirus): Causes warts and increases the risk of anal, oral, and throat cancers.

Hepatitis A. Hepatitis A is a liver infection that’s spread by a virus in poo. ...
Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is a viral infection that causes inflammation of the liver. ...
Hepatitis C. ...
Gonorrhoea. ...
Non-specific urethritis (NSU) ...
Chlamydia. ...
Shigella. ...
Genital herpes.

Anal Cancer: High risk, particularly for those with HPV or living with HIV.

Depression and Anxiety: Higher rates are observed, often linked to social stress.

Substance Use: Increased risk of alcohol dependency and tobacco use compared to the general population.

yet this is something to celebrate

Appropriate.

The Dead Sea is where Sodom and Gomorrah used to be...

Be a shame if the Iranians bomb it, but those Revolutionary Guard types would probably prefer an invitation.

If it turns into days like the gay days at Disneyworld, it will be filled with semi-hidden sexual encounters, open displays of homosexual contact, drug use, and brazen remarks to straight people not there to be picked up or insulted to include young teens. It will be a mess and since we are talking about third worldenders, it may reach violence.
