An official monument in memory of the gay men and women persecuted and murdered by the Nazis will be erected in Tel Aviv's Meir Garden, according to Ynet News.
The report said the Third Reich killed tens of thousands of homosexuals and persecuted a quarter of a million.
The project was spearheaded by openly gay Tel Aviv City Council member Itai Pinkas with strong support from Mayor Ron Huldai.
There are similar monuments in Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen and Sydney, Ynet said.
