| Halakha is more flexible about homosexuality than many think. Halakha doesnt have any serious prohibition against female-female homosexuality. Likewise halakha doesnt have any serious prohibition against male-male homosexuality either, except to avoid anal sex. The Talmud interprets ALL prohibitions against "mishkav zakhar" - "lying with a man as with a woman" - as a prohibition against anal sex ONLY. You CAN lie with a man as with a MAN - by avoiding anal sex. There are NO Talmudic prohibitions against other forms of male-male sex, such as frot or oral sex. Read Rabbi Greenberg`s book that discusses halakha for homosexuality from a Modern Orthodox perspective, *Wrestling with God and Men: Homosexuality in the Jewish Tradition* |
