The Guardian does disgusting hit piece on Judaism: “Orthodox Jewish Drag queens joyfully putting the sin in synagogue”
It’s expected that anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sites like The Guardian would do something low… but this is a new level of low and a desecration to G-d’s name.
Not only is this idiot not Orthodox (not even by a long shot), this piece is intended to try to push homosexuality on the religious Jews. I’m getting tired of all the gay agenda garbage being shoved down my throat. There is a difference between tolerating people with different views and being sent to financial ruin while having your business shut down because you don’t want to make a gay wedding cake.
This idiot calls himself “SinAGAGA”… and, naturally, the leftist Guardian just eats it up and makes this mental case a celebrity for their sick agenda.
This March, one of New York’s up-and-coming drag queens, Lady SinAGAGA, made her debut at Tina Burner’s Invasion, at the historic Stonewall Inn. She began the night in an elegant silk robe, then took it off to reveal a rather sexy bodysuit coupled with knee-high boots. The crowd cheered for her as she sang her soulful rendition of Out Tonight from Rent, her favorite musical.
Lady SinAGaga, as you may have guessed, is a Jewish drag queen (in case you missed it: SinAGaga sounds like synagogue). Her real-life alter ego, Moshiel, 22, was raised Orthodox and came out just over a year ago.
And here’s where the blatant attack on Orthodox Judaism comes in:
The real distinction is whether Judaism recognizes that homosexuality could be a real sexual orientation and, as a related point, whether a rabbi could endorse conversion therapy.
The more rightwing Orthodox ideology, as outlined in what is known as the Torah Declaration, outlaws homosexuality in any form. Its proponents claim that, according to the Torah, “homosexuality is not an acceptable lifestyle or a legitimate identity.” Further, the Declaration claims that “same-sex attraction can be modified and healed.”
…
There is, however, a more liberal and sympathetic Orthodox approach to homosexuality whose cornerstone is what is known as The Statement of Principles. It states that “all human beings are created in the image of God and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect”; they should “be welcomed as full members of the synagogue and school community”. Unlike the Torah Declaration, it allows for the possibility that same-sex attraction could be natural and inherent.
A lesser-known fact is that Orthodox Jews also condemn cross-dressing, per the commandment in Deuteronomy 22:5. This issue too is discussed within ancient and modern rabbinic circles, though not nearly to the same extent as the question of homosexuality. This conversation arises in the Talmud and in other sources, pondering whether men are allowed to dress up as women on Purim, the Jewish dress-up holiday – since it seems like the prohibition of cross-dressing is based on the premise of men not being confused and marrying other men, thinking they are women.
And so just like the frum – a Yiddish term for observant – there are also frum drags, who are more extreme than observant gay people because they also cross-dress.
And here’s the “winner of the season five of RuPaul’s Drag Race” supposedly Orthodox drag queen’s religious quote:
Though he doesn’t observe Jewish ritual law with the same stringency that he did when he was a child, he still identifies with Orthodox Judaism. … “Being a drag queen frees you up to say whatever the f**k you want.”
If this isn’t an attack piece on Judaism, I don’t know what is. It’s one thing to do evil… it’s much, much worse to try and get others to do evil. They will be responsible to Hashem.
