At JewSchool, Moby has posted a photo of two people making a mockery of themselves, and our religion.
Though the sign they hold is not incorrect about the substance of Leviticus 20:13, the moral of the story is not so clear as they claim. AIDS is a punishment for homosexual behavior? So why do so many straights suffer?
