69. Jews are not a monolithic group.
There are various opinions in the Jewish community about social issues, as there are in other communities.

I wonder about this "being gay is a choice" argument.

Could any heterosexual say they actively chose to be straight? If so, then, they could chose to be gay if in somehypothetical world being gay was the dominant good?


Anyway, back to the Jewish community. Aren't there some very Orthodox Jews who are fundamentalist in their beliefs?

I recall a few years ago, the one time all the major religious leaders in Jerusalem came together in peace to sit and talk in agreement.

Over what issue was there such harmony?

The Catholic, Jewish and Muslim religious leaders all greed to stop a gay rights parade.

Back to, Jewish people are not monolithic.
