The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has posted a photo of two male soldiers holding hands to its official Facebook page to celebrate Pride Month.




日前以色列军方在其Facebook首页上放了一张有两名男性士兵手牵手的图片，来庆祝同性恋自豪月。




“It’s Pride Month. Did you know that the IDF treats all of its soldiers equally?” the image caption reads.




附图说明：同志自豪月，你知道以色列军方不区别对待任何士兵么？




The image shows two soldiers strolling hand in hand through a Tel Aviv street and has nearly 4000 shares and more than 5,500 likes.




这张图片立刻引发了公众的关注，被转发了4000次，获得了5500次LIKE。




Israel was one of the first countries to abolish restrictions on openly-gay soldiers serving in the military and has prohibited gay discrimination in the armed forces since 1993.




以色列自1993年起，军方就命令禁止针对性取向的歧视，完全支持同性恋士兵在军中服役，是实施这类规定最早的国家机构之一。




Despite the military policies, however, a 2011 study showed more than 40 percent of gay and lesbian soldiers in the IDF say they have been harassed because of their sexuality.




尽管以色列军方有着禁止歧视同性恋士兵服役的规定，在2011年的一项调查中，还是有着40%的同性恋士兵声称因为性取向的不同，他们曾经收到过威胁。




Haaretz reported last year that 45 percent of respondents claimed homophobic remarks remained frequent, with soldiers in combat units reporting them more frequently.




以色列军方去年的内部投诉中，有45%的投诉和歧视同性恋有关。
