Oh, gimme a break… 2000 years ago, the Incans performed live sacrifices of their own people. How far back would you like to extend the “injustice”? There’s no reason to extend special rights to homos anymore than the dope head who gets a medical-marijuana card because he’s got “tennis elbow”.

That said, the Jews have been picked on, beat up and killed for the last 4000 years, and despite that history of pure misery and the search for equality, I doubt you’ll find a single Rabbi that would perform a homosexual marrIage.

Nu?
