I am one to be a liberal minded man today and support the idea of same sex unions if that is what our children seem to want to have tomorrow.
I realize of course that Judaism completely does not support same sex physical relationships and myself I do not believe any such arrangement to be kosher.
On the other hand, I do believe that we have a right to make our own decisions for ourselves and we have the human right to do so with any legal arrangement that exists not withstanding the idea of hurting anyone else in life or breaking another world apart.
So to me, the answer is difficult in many ways, but I think that as Jews, we should support the right for gay and lesbian marriages in the general community.
Heres the dilemma. We are giving them a vote to let them do their own choice. We are not voting to make them get married. Thus we as jews are not responsbile for the dignity and worry of another person when it comes to doing something that is in violation with G-ds Torah Law.
I am one to hope that tomorrow is a good day for all of us and that humanity greatly improves its own feelings of hatred and indifference and intolerance towards one another.
I do not in any way shape or form think that it is the Jewish synagogues obligation to offer same sex marriage and in fact, it would be a Disgusting Act of Hatred for Torah to offer any such service.
Clearly the non orthodox synagogues who are less attractive today will indeed offer these services and there perhaps is a role that these non orthodox entities can in fact be somewhat lenient in their practices since they do not in any way shape or form represent Torah and thus they have already commited their crime;
But in truth, the fact is simple. Gay marriage is a future arrangement for men and men or women and women who are in a situation by which they think that their own relationship is more than just a normal friendship and needs a special celebration which is counter to the climate and dignity of the Jewish and of course; the thinking and feelings of the past and the considerations of the honor that is truly afforded to a marriage between a man and a woman.
I am one to think that there is a need for health and community.
If the reform and conservative who have no Torah laws that they consider binding. (break one, you have broken them all as far as the order of the synagogue goes).
For the fact of the current day dilemma, perhaps this is a hopeful thing for the same sex commitment seeker who really wants a jewish experience.
I will not in any way shape or form express any promotion that this arrangement is a possible future for true Torah orthodox judaism. It is not.
And I do not think your G-d will ever allow a Torah represented Way of life to be destroyed. That will never happen and Orthodoxy is Permanent.
But today, I am one to contribute to the futures of any man and woman who are law abiding and seek to better their lives in their own way, despite that to me, the arrangement of a same sex union is a friendship of course, but really not a true Spiritual Authentic Blood Union of any man or woman in any sense that engages in such a said experience.
