I don’t think anyone here thinks it’s ok to change our values. I think I am the one who is defending the club the most, and I think it’s specifically because it holds true to our values!
This club is about NOT making being gay your identity. It’s about supporting these individuals so they could stay as frum Jews, and specifically NOT make their orientation the focal point of their lives.
Joseph, troll that he is, is trying to equate this club with a club for pedophiles. He has never come across as more ignorant. Nobody is telling pedophiles to be proud of who they are, and trying to offer them support to proudly live that life openly. With gays, that is going on. We need to help these individuals so that they can stay true to the Torah, and follow what Hashem asks of us.
And once more: there is nothing wrong with being gay. There is something wrong with acting on the urges. If a Jew is gay, and never gives in to the urge, and lives a full life of celibacy, would you say there’s something wrong there? He is succeeding in the challenge Hashem has given him! That’s what this club is trying to do. Help them to succeed.
