To “It is Time for Truth”- I think it is time for a chill pill. I am sorry if I offended you and made light of the matter. In most coffee rooms I know the participants can take a joke.
The question you need to ask yourself is do you think that any of your fire and brimstone attitudes will make anyone in the LGBT community rethink their way of life? Really. It’s time to wake up and realize how to fight the war. These are people who have a taivah that most of us can not relate to and it unfortunately now has a stamp of approval from the world at large. Coming at them with a Bible in hand and comparing them to the cannibals in New Guinea will not accomplish a lick of good. How would approach a kleptomaniac?
I am not advocating what this Rabbi did and I am sure that he probably could accomplish what he says he wants to accomplish without taking on the position in an official manner. Yes, it is similar to the dozens of Orthodox Rabbis 50 years ago that took positions in Conservative synagogues (with good intentions). Either way, I still think you need to tone down the rhetoric
