judaism, all religions, and all groups should be about giving understanding, acceptance, and warmth to each human being.i think this film is a beautiful piece of work - it gave me more of an understanding of being gay than ever before. it's about searching for love and understanding, acceptance, being a good person. these people are not about pushing their way of life on anyone else. there is no room in this world for people to tell others how to live. if you are a good person to others, strive to give to the world in whatever way you can, and let each person be what they want to be - that's the way it should be (i'm talking about moral and ethical people here). it's much more complicated than this, of course. religions that preach theirs is the ONLY way are not what i would call good people. condemning others for their thoughts is not being what i think Rabbi Hillel, Jesus, or the Budhha were teaching. i very much like the rabbi who is saying that the Torah has many stories about man talking to god and giving 'him ' new insights into mankind. this film seems to me an ode to the joy in life.

"Hashem has given me Torah," yet you refuse to listen to it! You can have gay feelings and emotions, but it is your duty to repress those feelings. You don't need to marry or have children, but to engage in homosexual activity is a sin as much as any other sin and it can't be neglected just because it is an emotional sin. The problem with homosexuals who are religious isn't that they are gay, it is that they want to be openly gay and continue their homosexual activities yet reconcile this with God. The fact is that cannot be. Would a truly religious community accept adulterers or idolaters? Murderers? These are all detested in the Torah, and nobody questions these. The fact is being gay is just another precondition to a sin that you must fight, some are prone to gambling, others to cheating on their spouses, and others to a physical attraction to the same sex. They all must be fought against, whether by repressing it, or by finding recovery through therapy. To give into the sin and call it righteous and good in Gods eyes is an even greater sin. You are making what is good bad and what is bad good, and you are trying to be more good than God. We should not forget what Hashem says about that. Another problem I had with this is most Rabbis assume that the verse "A Man must not lay with another man the way that he would lay with a woman." This doesn't just describe anal homosexual activity, but all sexual conduct that is reserved ONLY for women. Furthermore it later states in the Torah that sexual conduct not related to reproduction is prohibited, so oral sex/anal sex would also clearly be forbidden whether for straights or gays. I also find it detestable that the gay men trying to fight against homosexuality think it is a right to have sexual pleasure. Sexual pleasure is a reward and not a requirement of a healthy life and relationship, nobody should have a life built on sexual pleasure. A strong emotional connection with the people around you should suffice in making one happy; the pursuit of sexual pleasure is a perversion.
