Israel Televises First Public Trans-Inclusive Wedding

[oberliner]

Israel recently celebrated its first public trans-inclusive wedding, going so far as to televise the event. Is this a step forward for trans inclusion or a hindrance?

Salon owner Che Arizona and her husband, whose identity has not been revealed, married last week with a wedding party of celebrities and media people, including a Channel 2 television crew, in tow.

Israeli personality Avri Gilad officiated the event. Gilad is quoted as calling Arizona’s wedding a breakthrough. “Each woman deserves to smile at her wedding, and deserves to wear white,” he said, “or pink.”

1. That's awesome.

Wouldn't this reach more if were cross posted in LGBT, Middle East, and even the Jewish Groups? I'm not sure how this news is related to I/P, and some that may wish to see it may miss it later.

2. Articles with "Israel" in the headline tend to get moved here

At least it used to be that way in the olden days, before you joined us.

Please feel free to cross-post this to whatever other sub-forums you feel would be appropriate.

3. "in the olden days, before you joined us?"

The I/P forum rules are pretty clear, and I am fairly recent. I'm not familiar with all articles with Israel in the title being moved here. I was just suggesting that others, especially LGBT and others might enjoy this article in the right place.
