The Tragedy Of The McGreevy Marriage (Rabbi Boteach's Thoughts On Bi-Sexuals And Marriage)

Worldnetdaily.com ^ | 08/14/03 | Rabbi Shmuley Boteach

[P-Marlowe]

The Rules:
1. A male who is only attracted to females is heterosexual. .
2. A male who is attracted to females and males is queer.

Wrong.

Rules:

1. A male who is only attracted to females is normal.

2. A male who is attracted to females and males is abnormal.

3. A democrat male who is attracted to either males or females (or animals or vegetables) is a girlie man.

YOUR contention that he hired this woman to be his wife (forget that they had children together) is what I was questioning. Even if she knew that he had homosexual relationships in the past, still doesn't mean that she didn't marry him for anything other than the right reasons.

[Ann Archy]

Schmuley IS nuts! Thanks for saying it! He's VERY easily impressed for a RABBI.

[SauronOfMordor]

She had children with him...I think she had no clue

Or she knew from day one, was content to accept the perks of being his wife, while having children by another man

[dead]

Let's just say I strongly disagree.

Either she knew her husband was a PRACTICING homosexual, or she's the dumbest person on the planet.

When I was a sophomore in high school I was President of my Class, I struck up a wonderful friendship with the guy who was President of the Senior Class. This guy was brilliant. Most likely to succeed, etc. We had a great friendship. He went off to Yale to study Law and I finished high school and we remained friends. several years later some old high school guy I wasn't really friends with popped up at some event. He was blatantly gay. Really out there. I kind of was ignoring him and he got in my face and said, 'YOU KNOW WHO MY FIRST LOVER WAS? YOUR FRIEND WAYNE," I was shocked. It's not that I didn't want to see, it just never crossed my mind back then. I called him up at Yale and I said to him that I had heard something disturbing today. He said, "You heard I was gay." Turns out he was having relationships in High School and I truly didn't know. He was very discreet and it wasn't the core of his identity.

He ended up practicing law in San Francisco and has had the same boyfriend for over 25 years.

Well, I wouldn't say exactly I was wrong, but I also don't disagree with your fine tuning of the rules either.

[Tuco Ramirez]

Will she give McGreevey the dispensation to receive Communion?

Never mind...

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Naaah.

Now Tuco on the other hand, well...

You have seen the picture, haven't you?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TopQuark]

Shmuley is as crazy as a loon.

I don't know whether this is generally so, but the article suggests this very strongly.

Boy, am I happy that I am not in the congregation of this idiot!

Boteach doesn't help anything with his specious "distinction" of sodomy as a "religious" sin instead of a moral one.

Sodomy is a sin against morals. It damages the person committing it, it damages the person receiving it, it offends God, it offends human dignity and thereby is an insult and offense against all.

Boteach has let his Freudianism infiltrate his Judaism and the results are pretty disedifying.
