The station's News Editor, Scott Roberts, will coincide with the
second anniversary of a shooting at a central Tel Aviv gay and
lesbian centre, in which two people were killed and several others
injured.
He will be meeting members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender community in the area to discuss the aftermath of the
shooting and the impact it had on their lives.
During his visit Roberts will also be interviewing Israel's only
openly gay MP, Nitzan Horowitz, to cover the issues that the LGBT
community in Israel and the Middle East regularly face. They will
also examine the reasons behind the recent influx of gay men and
lesbians from Palestine, Egypt and Tunisia.
Robin Crowley, head of GaydarRadio, comments: "Scott's report from
Tel Aviv will give our listeners a fascinating insight into what
life is like for the LGBT community in Israel, particularly in the
aftermath of the horrific shooting in 2009. At GaydarRadio we pride
ourselves on bringing our listeners a wide spectrum of relevant
content, from the fun and quirky, to hard-hitting issues such as
this.
"It's an honour for us as a station to visit Tel Aviv at this time
and mark the anniversary of the shooting and commemorate the
victims."
