LGBTQ Communities
Issues of intolerance and discrimination against the LGBTQ community are an international phenomenon. If anything, I felt a connection with the people working for LGBTQ rights in Israel in the ways that this struggle parallels the one here in the US in some ways. However, I was also left with many questions that were not answered by the websites that I hope will become part of the discussion tomorrow that pertain more to the ways in which perhaps the LGBTQ rights struggle in Israel differs in some ways, what challenges are unique to the Israeli context? I was also left wondering what the LGBTQ rights struggle in Israel can teach us in the US?

I was also curious about how the Israeli LGBTQ cause and experiences differ from other countries. I think Yonathan did a great job highlighting the differences among the US, Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem. It definitely sparked an interest to learn how other countries with strong religious affiliations respond to the LGBTQ cause.
