 As far as Orthodox jewry is concerned homosexuality is prohibited and 
is punishable by death as is considered an abomination as the following
verses state : 
		
		Thou shalt not lie with a man after the manner of a women:
	it is abomination
     
				Leviticus 18 : 22
    and
		If a man also lie with a man, as one lies with a women,
	both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be
	put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
				Leviticus 20 : 13
	
As far as conservative and reformed are conserned I don't know for sure
but I would hope that they accept THIS verse.

				B.K.
