MARRIED AT 17

... Divorced at 21.

The life of an Orthodox Jewish lesbian

Points to ponder:
  • Does Jewish ritual law forbid girl-on-girl sex? I know the arguments for and against. But has a definitive ruling been issued?

  • I think her story reinforces the notion that homosexuality isn't a choice. Don't you?
  • How many other "Chanis" are out there?

  • If we can agree, as I think we must, that homosexuality isn't a choice; and if we can agree, as I think we must, that the Torah forbids it, what is the Orthodox Jewish community's obligation -if any- to frum gays?
