We are told about the rabbis' views on sexual intercourse between men.
Because Torah verses state that men cannot lie with men as they lie with women, no form of intercourse that could happen between a man and a woman is permitted between two men.
Again, the beginning of the act of intercourse is all that is required.
We review the issue of homosexuality in the community and the incidence of mental illness and those who attempt psychiatric conversion therapies of dubious science.
We consider Hitler’s attack on Jewish homosexuals during the NAZI period and how that might affect our attitudes in not handing him a posthumous victory by vilifying these folk.
