This is especially true if the religious leader comes from a religion with long history of issues towards the LBGT community like the Catholic Church.<br /><br /> The letter of the Orthodox Rabbis is a good step in the right direction. It also high lights the inherent Jew-hatred of the anti-Zionists, even the Jewish ones. Israel is the most liberal and progressive state in the Middl East and still has strong socialist elements in it. There is flourishing LBGT community. It is one of the twenty-three states in the world that completely prohibit any form of corporal punishment for children. Israel is trying to do the right thing with the Israeli-born children of illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, according to the NYT, Iran is angry at Brazil for giving asylum to a woman sentenced to death for allegedly cheating on her husband.
