To some extent, we have a problem here.  For the orthodox Jew, being gay
is against the Torah.  In fact, we have seen in at least two of the postings
that in the days when capital punishment existed, the witness must know the
crime was to happen, tell the person(s) not to perform the crime, and (as I
understand it) try to stop the crime.  Today we don's have capital punishment,
however, how should an orthodox Jew, following what is correct according
to the Torah, do when faced with a Gay who is open about what he has and will
do?  Don't forget, the orthodox Jew must act according to the Torah.
