Lines: 10 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. Michael L. Schneider
