Orthodox Rabbis: Anybody Who Conducts A Same-Sex Wedding Will Be Kicked Out
The Rabbinical Council of America has issued a "clarification" on its position on homosexuality.
The Torah and Jewish tradition, in the clearest of terms, prohibit the practice of homosexuality. Same-sex unions are against both the letter and the spirit of Jewish law, which sanctions only the union of a man and a woman in matrimony. Attempts to ritualize or celebrate same-sex unions are antithetical to Jewish law. Any clergyman who performs or celebrates a same-sex union cannot claim the mantle of Orthodox Judaism.The statement goes on to say they can neither "endorse nor reject" so-called reparative therapy.
