Orthodox Madness (with major correction O.O hey it happens)

I don't get how our orthodox friends living in Israel can be so anti-homosexual and yet be so adamant about a separation of the genders.

It doesn't make sense.

While homosexuals aren't bad people, homosexuality should not be done, but with that, it simply does not make sense to separate the genders. I forgot to proofread when I fixed this sentence.


Both genders need to have the ability to interact with the opposite gender, and interaction with the opposite gender, to be normal people.

Now, let me diverge, and I'll talk about assimilation for a moment. Orthodox Judaism did not come up with shit that is of recreational value. Thus, to play a game of baseball is assimilating to one extent or another. So is a board game. A bicycle. A movie. A guitar. Bowling. There is a human need for fun, and having fun necessarily requires a certain extent of assimilation to one extent or another.

I'm going to finish with a joke. An orthodox rabbi and a priest went to lunch. The priest finished his steak. The rabbi kept asking, what is the halacha of putting the fork into the steak? What is the halacha of cutting the steak? What is the halacha of mash potatos? What is the halacha of condiments? What is the halacha of taking the first bite? What is the halacha of taking the second bite? Is there a bracha for the second bite? Is there a bracha for the last bite? What is the halacha of vegetables? What is the halacha of the bracha for having more than one thing on the plate? What is the halacha ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
