In a prelu the Jesalem Pri Para, enzied ath threats have been ma public, and aln members, even wh the Likud, have been quoted as sayg the Pri Para is an abomatn, or claimg that parents make their sons gay by givg them dolls to play wh. In the meantime, far-right MK Avi Maoz will have the thory to ensure LGBTQ young people, or straight on for that matter, never learn the facts (cludg the one that playg wh dolls do not make one gay) about sexual and genr inty.
