Dear Editor,
I assume you all read the article "Tel Aviv- 2 killed in an attack on the Homolesbian bar" about what happened in the teen bar for gays and lesbians. However, if you don’t know, I shall remind you. On the 1st of August, men broke into the teen bar and shot everywhere; there were 2 murdered and 4 injured teens, one of the murdered teens was Liz, from Holon, that just wanted to support gay rights.

We can blame a lot of people for this. We can blame the orthodox Jews that hate gays and maybe they did it. However, we can blame the society for not accepting gays, but gays don’t accept themselves. Researches showed that most of the homophobic guys are gays themselves.

The gay community arranges a pride parade each year, in which half naked people walk and kiss each other. Maybe this is a part of the reason for all the hate, but maybe not.Or maybe, this hate is about gays not getting out of the closet and showing support to other gay guys. Or(look for another word, apart from "or") even worse, hating them and trying to hunt them down like homophobian people do.

So, the purpose of this is to show you a new way of looking at this situation. It's a horrible thing or maybe, it just opened our eyes a bit to show us who we really are?

Yours truly,
Andrew Borsuck

Good work
