I've seen the "interpretations" of David and Jonathan to suggest they were lovers, and I'm quite unimpressed. But Ruth? Exqueeze me? What's your evidence? I've read the book of Ruth more than a dozen times, in Hebrew and English, and see no suggestion she was LBT in any way. She married a man and had children with him. Yes, she was close with her mother-in-law. Are all women who are close to their mothers-in-law, who even love them, therefore lesbians? Please explain. Kevin-

Only one small problem...what about Jonathan and David? What about Ruth? And, please Rabbi Levin, care to explain the multiple wives of Solomon and many of the other Biblical Patriarchs?

There are more than just a few parallels between being a jew and being a fag-- as David Benkof found out when the No on 8 people didn't want him. Funny in a tragic, victim-of-prejudice sort of a way.

Replace "homosexual" with "Jewish" and remove "bedroom", and this statement could have been made by any number of Nazi war criminals. Just saying, is all. “We have opposed the homosexual agenda from ‘day one’, when they attempted to craft a separate class based on their bedroom misbehavior.”
