According to Wikpedia, Emanuel belongs to a MO congregation in Chicago. It’s strange and unfortunate that his connection with traditional Judaism would not make him more respectful of other positions on gay marriage.
It’s also bizarre that he would try to ban a business from a city because he has the same political opinion that OBAMA HIMSELF had until a few months ago.
Anyway, he should know that according to current First Amendment jurisprudence, it is *definitely* a violation of someone’s constitutional rights to deny them a permit for a business because of that person’s religious or political views.
So the whole gay marriage thing has reached witch-hunt proportions. Maybe this is a message from Hashem that we should be looking into aliyah? It just became a little harder to raise a child to be a proud Torah Jew in the US (now that the inability for gays to marry under Orthodox Judaism will probably be denounced as some kind of crime against humanity).
