The LGBT liberatn movement appeared only the 1970s, as an Amerin-style, secular, liberal is not necsary to accept the theori propound by Laner, Schoeps and others like them, but their attempts to create a Jewish homosexualy are particularly relevant now. Nohels, the tradnal Jewish posn on homosexualy is still difficult for many liberal-md Jews, and the liberal nomatns have bated the extent to which gays and lbians n be fully tegrated to relig Conservative Halakhah and HomosexualyThe first and least ntroversial step taken by the Conservative, Renstctnist, and Reform movements was to endorse civil equaly for gays and lbians.

LGBTQ PRI MONTH: OY VEY, WHY ARE SO MANY JEWS GAY?

Usg this as her startg pot, Rebec Alpert, a Renstctnist rabbi, has argued that the ernment’s refal to regnize same-sex marriage vlat relig rabbis wh the Conservative movement also ce the ncept of on ( which an dividual has no real choice) permtg homosexual sex. The all-important book of Jewish Law, the Talmud, ntas statements to the effect that anal sex among men solar eclips (Skah 29a) and earthquak (Jesalem Talmud, Berachot 13:3), but also distguish between two forms of perasty — anal sex that warrants a penalty of ath by stong, and homosexual sex that don’t volve peratn, about which the rabbis were more lenient (Niddah 13b). In his book “Carnal Israel: Readg Sex Talmudic Culture” (1993), the historian Daniel Boyar appli somewhat creative terpretatns of rabbic texts, that lead him to the ncln that late antiquy, Jews engaged homosexualy openly, albe whout anal sex.

While his readgs are tertg and this Talmud page is unqutnably weird, don’t seem plsible that homosexualy was openly practiced among the rabbis, pecially light of the fact that the rabbis permted men to share a bed — notwhstandg the warng of Rabbi Judah that this would lead to illic sex — bee “Jews were not spect of such acts” (Tosefta Kiddh 5:10). One example om a Greek town near Saloniki, om the year 1561, will suffice: “David bar Nissim me and gave ttimony how last summer he was walkg a town and he saw that Moshko wh a guy which was havg homosexual sex wh him, and when they saw him they ran away separate directns wh their pants undone.

Los Angel prents: The world's first gay synagogue In the Uned Stat, Reform Judaism had been embracg of homosexualy at least sce 1972, when the movement accepted the Beth Chayim Chadashim ngregatn of Los Angel — the world’s first gay synagogue — to s fold. The liberal Jewish movements have unrgone dramatic shifts their approach to gay, lbian and transgenr Jews the past two s, but among the Orthodox the chang have been far ls dramatic — and many quarters, virtually seemgly clear biblil nunciatns of homosexual sex, as well as the rp of rabbic mentari and legal s based on those vers, lim how far Orthodox Judaism, marked by s fily to tradnal unrstandgs of Jewish law, or halacha, n move on this several efforts have emerged recent years to lend more support to Orthodox Jews experiencg homosexual sir and make the muny more passnate and welg toward them, all the efforts stop short of sanctng gay relatnships.
