    I never heard that Jews were anti-gay and I never would have used that title for this thread, but board rules and all. I know there is stuff in the bible about it, but it always seemed like Jews supported gays. Just wondering what the deal is on this stuff from our resident experts.

    Over ten years ago a large group of rabbis in Israel agreed that man was made in God's image and that He made gays too.

    as a fellow Jew, you should be aware that today we Jews don't really care too much about the whole homosexuality issue.

    Israel has a large yearly gay-pride parade.

    many Synagogues will marry same-sex couples.

    meanwhile Islamists like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Hamas, Yemen, Afghanistan, execute Gays.

    Well.. Israel decriminalised same-sex sexual activity in 1988 and even allows them to adopt. Not bad I would say compared to many other countries.

    Saudi Arabia does execute Gays, by charging them with insulting Islam.

    The situation in Israel is a bit more complex than your statements suggest. As in Christian churches in the USA, there is a broad spectrum of attitude toward gays and gay marriage in Israel. The gay pride parade you mention happens in Tel Aviv. If such a public demonstration were attempted in Jerusalem the marchers would be stoned by haredim.

    Israel became the first in Asia to recognize unregistered cohabitation between same-sex couples, making it the only country in Asia to recognize any same-sex union thus far.

    Although same-sex marriages are not performed in the country, Israel recognizes same-sex marriages performed elsewhere, making it the first and only country in Asia to do so.

    Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation was prohibited in 1992.

    Same-sex couples are allowed to jointly adopt after a court decision in 2008, while previously allowing stepchild adoptions and limited co-guardianship rights for non-biological parents.

    Gays and lesbians are also allowed to serve openly in the military.

    No they don't.. Gays might get a short jail term or a lashing for public same sex behavior, but they don't execute gays.

    Saudi Arabia has about as many gays per capita as we have in the US.. and they are sons and brothers just like in America.

    Israel has a MUCH better record on Gay rights, than Saudi Arabia.

    even you can't deny that

    Different cultures... Even heterosexual couples in Saudi Arabia don't do public displays. On the other hand Tel Aviv, Israel advertises itself as a gay tourist destination.

    A small proportion of irresponsible gays spread HIV at a much larger rate than anyone else. Until this stops, they can expect discrimination in many jurisdictions.

    Young blacks in the US are the most-affected victims of this irresponsibility, and their new infection rate is higher than anyone else--so, rather obviously, it is older gays that are infecting them.

    If I had a gay son infected with HIV by an older infected gay and lived in a third-world country where there was little chance for HIV treatment I could see myself supporting having such a person thrown from a rooftop. Transmitting HIV is still in essence murder in third world countries, and everywhere else it is still the transmission of an incurable and costly illness.

    I guess Tel Aviv has evolved more than Mecca and Medina.

    And the reaction of the religious sector in Jerusalem:

    on the contrary, the Jerusalem Gay Pride parades are very peaceful and happy.

    C'mon, folks... STOP CONFUSING JUDAISM WITH ISRAEL!

    [video=youtube;nMQ9C6vni0w]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMQ9C6vni0w[/video]

    ZIONISM AND JUDAISM ARE EXTREME OPPOSITES!

    I know they promote gayness in Israel. I am curious about the Jewish take if anyone has some insight. I know the Torah has some stuff to say. Is anyone aware of Talmudic discussions on the subject?

    with all due respect, you have confused confused "Jews" with "Israelis" and "Zionists many times on this forum.

    there's nothing wrong with being gay, and Israel tolerates Gay people.

    you should be proud of this, as most Muslim nations severely persecute Gay people.
