Israel Will Now Allow Gay Jews to Immigrate with Their Non-Jewish Spouses

“In a directive publicised Tuesday, Israeli Interior Minister Gideon Saar told immigration authorities not to differentiate between married gay and straight couples,” Ynetnews reports. I’m a bit puzzled by this since I know gay couples that have settled in Israel. Perhaps this is merely a clarification. It’s good news in any event. Israel is the homeland of all Jews, both gay and straight.
