In the interests of the community, and to gather together for myself for reference, here are more links in the continuing story of being LGBT and Jewish in the UK:
The JC reported on the refusal of JFS to meet with ex-pupils to discuss their concerns about homophobia at the school.
The newspaper also noted the intent of KeshetUK to present education packs to JFS as part of LGBT History month.
in the JC Gemma Hersh writes "I'm gay, but I want a Jewish life"
via Pink News Chaim Levin writes about his terrible experience of "reparative" therapy.
also in Pink News, Orthodox rabbi Yitzchak Schochet tells us that everyone is welcome
Meanwhile, an added wrinkle just appeared, with a column in the Jewish Telegraph by Doreen Wachmann, suggesting that homosexuality is a disease that can be cured.
Pink News published a response by, among others, my colleague Rabbi Mark Solomon.
Finally, if my previous blog post did not persuade you, you might still use this link to look at some KeshetUK vids supporting LGBT Youth!
