They won't solve the problem if they stick to "boomerang effects"
The chief rabbi in Ramat Gan wants to help homosexuals overcome same-sex mentality:
In the wake of Rabbi Yigal Levinstein's offensive comments about gays and about women serving in the military, another important rabbi has taken a public stance against homosexuals.Yes, they do, but here's a challenging query: what do they propose, psychologically or otherwise, in order to persuade homosexuals to change their lifestyle/mentality and be able to find the opposite sex appealing, as normal people do? If they're opposed to men listening to women sing, for example, at a concert, or hear a lecture at a college by a woman, not to mention going out on dates and looking at pictures of the opposite sex, then I don't see why they're supposedly worried. If they keep up that gender segregation crap, they shouldn't be shocked when it leads to what they're supposedly trying to fix.
Chief Rabbi of Ramat Gan Yaakov Ariel, addressing the topic of same-sex parents, declared this week that "a normal family is based on a father and a mother."
Speaking at a conference titled Kdushim Tehiyu ("Be Holy") sponsored by the Association of Community Rabbis in Israel to discuss LGBTQ issues, Ariel said, "The human race was created as families, and this is normative. People who managed to escape this [homosexuality] should hold pride parades. Community rabbis must help people who are grappling with it."
Ariel continued, "There is no substitute for a normative family. This is a holy term according to the Torah. Today, an atmosphere could be created in which a normative person is someone who has no home and no natural family.
"This is a phenomenon that exists. Some of the reasons for it could be biological or psychological, but we must aspire to fix the problem. But in recent years aberrations have become the norm, and people who don't establish normal families are holding pride parades.
"A person who is aware that he has a problem and wants to solve it is on the right path. But not everyone has the spiritual strength [to do so], and our job is to help them, because there are many miserable people who have no place in either male or female society.
"Despite us rabbis being attacked and accustomed to wearing flak jackets, we have an obligation to speak the truth. We are obligated to save humanity from the disaster it is bringing down upon itself," Ariel said.
