Go here: http://www.igy.co.il/content/index.html and wait for it to load.
On the top left is a frame marked with a small "V". Click the button marked in hebrew which starts the video.
It is an advert for Israeli Gay Youth that appears on national TV. Translated it means "Setting the closet in order" - or something like that.
Once again a small nation is in a leadership position on gay needs and rights.

I am ashamed that I let Timmy post this instead of doing it myself.
The words of the song start as follows:
"Come into the water, the time of shame is over."
I'll try and get the rest down when I find the time.

Me again.
I have just found an English abstract of what IGY (Israel Gay Youth) is all about. If you are interested go here:

Here are the words of the song. It's a very inelegant translation, 'cos it's mine!
Come to the water, the age of shame is over;
Come to the water, the age of denial is over;
Teach me how to swim, float,
Smoke, have fun and fly.
When I grow up I'll be like everyone else:
There's a great love waiting for me in the world.
I'll have stars on the most beautiful jacket in town;
One by one I'll pick them, beautiful,
To use and return.
Come to the water and see that everything's the same,
Float on the water and hope that he'll come tomorrow.
Maybe in a year he'll come, gift-wrapped.

Regrettably, it doesn't seem to work for me, in Firefox or Opera under Linux. In Opera it tells me "Sorry, this site doesn't work in Opera".
