A Proud Father

David Fogel is a proud Israeli father of a gay son:

Full disclosure: I’m the proud father of a gay son. And I’m not the only one. Our prime minister, Ehud Olmert, is the proud father of a gay daughter—a daughter who has become a symbol, the pride of the community, for being an open lesbian and a brave fighter for equal rights for the homosexual community.

And because I know, from personal acquaintance, that Ehud Olmert is a warm and loving father, I am angry at his thundering silence in light of the nonsense and incitement against the homosexual community by several leaders of Shas.

Mr Fogel’s fine letter is a reaction to the silly statement made by Shlomo Benizri, who in a recent Knesset debate blamed gays for earthquakes.
