Among the justified claims here that there has been an awful lot of homophobic abuse on this blog (strange it hasn't been removed. Maybe the hate-monger is protected), a little reported phenomenon has been ignored. Gay orthodox men -- and probably women, too.
Failed Messiah writes:
Each one opened his heart to us and told us his difficult story – how he discovered that he was homosexual, how he dealt with himself and with religion, how he went to or did not go to a rabbi, whether he underwent psychological treatment to try and change his sexual orientation or other treatment, how his parents reacted and how he came out of the closet, if indeed he did so. It was impossible not to be impressed by the desire of these men to continue to be part of the religious community.

Question is: will the bigots let them.
