In a precedent-setting move, Israel’s Interior Ministry has recognized two men as the biological father of a baby boy.
The baby is the son of Yuval Topper-Erez, a transgender male who gave birth in December 2011. The Interior Ministry initially refused to recognize the child’s father, Matan, as the biological father. But the couple fought for more than a year, and after gaining support from Interior Minister Gideon Saar and Knesset Internal Affairs Committee Chairwoman Member of Knesset Miri Regev, it received recognition.
“While the solution was not ideal, we are still very happy that the child has been registered on both fathers’ IDs and we thank all those who got involved and helped make this happen,” the father, Matan, told Israel Hayom.
Matan added, “I hope that as a result of our case, every same-sex couple will be registered as the parents in their family, it was worth the fight.”
While Israel does not allow same-sex marriages to be performed, due to the lack of a civil marriage option, the state does recognize same-sex unions from abroad. Same-sex couples can also register for cohabitation status, and receive many of the same benefits as heterosexual couples.
Israel is the only Middle Eastern country that recognizes same-sex marriages.
oy vey!
I was doing the Jumble today and I thought...would they ever feature gay couples in things like the Jumble?....no, because in reality, while everyone thinks it okay the crap they get away with , down deep, most think they’re very strange.
1. Israel has gender changing AND same sex marriage? I guess the orthodox and conservative Jews have given over to the Reform Jews.
2. Yuck.
Correction: one male and one gelding. That's all s/he really is no matter what operations are done to his/her genitalia.
Oh gawd, MAJOR yuck!!! OOOooooo :o(
Um kay...
The lessons of Sodom and Gomorrah have been forgotten.
And not just by Israel.
Exactly . One male and a female with an addadictome that is merely good to pee through.
How is God going to deal with this?”
A hint may be found in the Old Testament where a man having sex with a man is described as “an abomination” to G*d.
But, compared to a modern day liberal Israeli, what would He know?
“If Israel is no different than fascist faggot New York City, why are we supporting them?”
Because Israeli’s kill Muslims?
I do not see any same sex component here. A woman who wants to call herself a man (no doubt because of some mental illness) wanted herself listed as the baby’s father instead of mother on the birth certificate. The problem is that Israel decided to go ahead and list her as the father, and the baby’s father is also listed at the father.
Why on earth are these mental illnesses not being recognized and dealt with as the profound illnesses they are?
I thought that one was a manchild born of a virgin camel, but maybe I’m confused.
A female pseudo male, but apparently still a fully functional female (unlike for example Chaz Bono).
Really?
Sounds like Israel is confused.
“While the solution was not ideal, we are still very happy that the child has been registered on both fathers’ IDs and we thank all those who got involved and helped make this happen,” the father, Matan, told Israel Hayom.
Wasn't there a King Solomon somewhere in Israel's history?
It must be nice growing up feeling like a bloody turd.
Because Israeli’s kill Muslims?
You reminded me why I support Israel.
Thanks.
