We don't remember the last time we read such an emotional post by Nadav Bornstein, like the one the host published today (Wednesday) in front of his 100,000 followers on Instagram - in which he referred to a news article reporting that yesterday, for the first time in Israel, a baby girl was born to a couple of gay men through a surrogacy procedure.

• Nadav Bornstein reveals for the first time a family photo and asks: "Don't vote for homophobes"
With warm and enveloping words, Bornstein embraced the happy fathers and also used the opportunity to convey an unequivocal message to anyone who thinks of stopping progress in equal rights for LGBT people.

"Wow," Bornstein wrote at the beginning of the post he dedicated on his personal page.
"How much we fought for it," he recalled.
"And how happy it is these days," he added, apparently referring to the Levin reform storm, which many fear will harm LGBT rights. "No, I'm a puddle," he had trouble hiding his great enthusiasm and joy. "Congratulations, Omar and Daniel," he greeted the fathers the freshers
"Your life begins now," he announced with a wink and added a laughing emoji.
"I'm here for tips, and everything you need!", he offered to lend a helping hand on any topic the two would like.
"And we will not stop fighting for equal rights!", he stated at the end of his words, to remove any doubt.

The post quickly received dozens of warm responses, including the actor Uri Lazerovich, who wrote "Besha Tova".
The food blogger Rotem Liberzon added "a point of light in the darkness."
The post also received likes from TV host Dana Grotsky and model Taylor Malkov.
In response to Israel Hayom, Bornstein said: "Tears came to my eyes when I received the message. I dreamed of this moment when I stood in front of 80,000 people at the surrogacy protest in Rabin Square and called for equality, that anyone can become a father in our country in Israel.
"I think about the journey that Kafir and I went through - we crossed the world to fulfill our dream and become parents, and about Omar and Daniel who did it in a country that we all love so much. It shows that one should never give up, that equal rights can be achieved, that discrimination can be ended, even when it seems Impossible".
