The tradition of "female rabbis" has a totally different origin than any recent schism. It's always wise to keep that in mind when condemning any particular Jewish group for maintaining that practice ~ some of them are quite legitimate.

The gay marriage stuff, however, is different. I think even Jacob Schmiddlapp (one of the early Jewish leaders who literally paid for it's creation in America) would think Reform Judaism was totally out of its mind buying into gay marriage, and definitely he'd suspect the "Conservative" and any "Orthodox" had stepped right off the planet for getting into that sort of thing.

For a religious group that's into practicing the most ancient feast-day ceremony known to humanity, it's really amazing how easily so many have lost their knowledge of the true Jewish position on homosexual behavior.
