Would you see this in Palestine or Saudi Arabia?

The first openly gay member of Knesset, Uzi Even, was sworn in today, replacing retired Meretz MK Amnon Rubinstein, HA'ARETZ reported. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon congratulated Even on becoming an MK. Knesset House Committee Chairman Yossi Katz (Labor) will hold a special meeting to ensure that Even receives all the benefits, since many of the Knesset's pension plans and other perks do not grant benefits to same-sex partners. Even, 61, has lived with his partner, Dr. Amit Kama, for 18 years. He served several years in the military where he held scientific positions.
