Out actors Lea DeLaria and Alan Cumming are in Israel this week to help celebrate LGBT Pride.
DeLaria and Cumming were named this year's Pride ambassadors for Tel Aviv Pride. The city's annual parade takes place this weekend.
“There are apparently no ugly women in Israel,” DeLaria, who plays a lesbian inmate nicknamed Big Boo on the Netflix prison drama Orange is the New Black, told Ynet.
“I'm here really to support and celebrate the LGBT people of Israel,” Cumming, who is best known for playing Eli Gold, a campaign strategist who is Jewish, on CBS' The Good Wife, told the AP. “And the right and respect that they have in this country.”
DeLaria and Cumming are also being honored by TLVFest, the Tel Aviv International LGBT Film Festival.
