[I'm not sure how the words "Gay" and "Orthodox" can be used in the same sentence. However, the Apostle John told us this would be happening in Jerusalem--"And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our {Messiah} was crucified." Jerusalem is now spiritually "SODOM".]

A burgeoning, newly formed Internet community of male Orthodox homosexuals called Hod was keeping a low profile one day after recognition of same-sex couples as candidates for adoption sparked a wave of indignation among religious MKs.

Established just two weeks ago, there is nothing on Hod's Web site about the revolutionary decision published Sunday by Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz to allow the Welfare and Social Services Ministry to recognize same-sex couples as legitimate adoptive families; nor will there be in the near future.

"We are being watched with a magnifying glass right now," said 'Rabbi Ron,' perhaps Israel's only outwardly gay Orthodox rabbi, who helped establish Hod.
