IDF* like the US treats Gay personal equally, so IDF couldn't find a real Gay couple to pose for it's Facebook page or didn't feel like looking, I find this kind of strange but what works to promote your country, perhaps these guys were better looking or something?

*IDF did it first around the same time as the Oslo accords
