Who indeed?

[2banana]

Gays voted 90+ for obama and jews voted 75+ for obama...

[dforest]

The writer of this piece forgot the O in his first name.

[Da Coyote]

Why?

[FlingWingFlyer]

If homosexuality is so great, why do they have to refer to it as being “gay”? All of the homosexuals I’ve ever seen are definitely not “gay”.

EMBRACE THE HEBLEWS!

Moses commanded it.

Oh, on second thought .......

I actually don't quite the point of this "inclusion" business. If they don't have explicit gatherings for right-handed and left-handed Jews, does that mean left-handers aren't being included? Do they have sepecial caucuses for "Jews who cammit adultery" as well as "Jews who don't commit adultery"? Special program options for "Jews married to Jews" and "Jews married to Gentiles"? Special recognition for "Jews who view porn" as well as "Jews who don't view porn"? "Jews who have PhD's" as well as "Jews without PhD's"?

I am not trying to be totally silly here, much less offensive. I'm trying to grasp what it is about "being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and queer" that they feel they are being "excluded" if they have not been put in the program as a interest-group, spotlighted, or recognized?

(Maybe that's not a very coherent question. Like I said, I'm kinda just puzzling about it.)

Its hard to be gay and smiling with papilloma warts perirectally and an anal fistula.

[Stepan12]

Homosexuality is not in accordance with Judaism. And I am putting that mildly: Leviticus 20:13

[hecht]

and Ortho Jews voted Romney.

[donna]

They want to babysit your children.

[onedoug]

I kind’a doubt that. But if it’s true, all may be lost, indeed.

This from a believing Noachide.

[hecht]

The wifi I’m using wont let me go back on my posts, but I posted about a month ago a map by the NYT showing Romney winning all the Ortho neighborhoods in nyc

That’s all.

[Eleutheria5]

All the leaders of these “Jewish” groups can bend over and take one for the team.

[Eleutheria5]

Orthodox Jews, of course, were not invited. Can’t have those people thinking they belong.

[Future Snake Eater]

Heblews!? LOL! Now that's funny!
