We are very proud to represent LGBTQ Jews here in Canada and their allies Repost: @jewishliberal This is a super, super brief overview of a few important people and ideas concerning the intersectionality of the LGBTQ+ community and the Jewish community. We really recommend you heading over to the various accounts we posted at the end for a perspective that’s more in depth. As straight Jewish women, we do not have the experience or the authority to speak to the more emotional and personal aspects of this intersection because there are parts of the Jewish community that do not accept the LGBTQ+ community. We are here to provide you with a little information to get you started and then steer you towards learning much more about this extremely important topic. - Alana & Lexi - - Sources: https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/663504/jewish/Judaism-and-Homosexuality-Do-Homosexuals-Fit-into-the-Jewish-Community.htm https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/27/us/larry-kramer-dead.html https://www.heyalma.com/14-jews-who-changed-queer-history-forever/ http://www.orthogays.org/faq.html https://www.reconstructingjudaism.org/article/understanding-transgender-issues-jewish-ethics https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/694817/jewish/Can-a-homosexual-be-Jewish-without-losing-his-or-her-identity.htm https://www.keshetonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/2020-Youth-Resource-Flyer-2.pdf https://globaljews.org/blog/7-lgbtq-jews-of-color-you-should-know/ https://www.kveller.com/13-jewish-moms-on-instagram-who-just-get-it/ https://www.jqyouth.org/lgbtq-jewish-orgs/ https://www.keshetonline.org/resources/transtexts-cross-dressing-and-drag/ https://www.keshetonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/2020-Youth-Resource-Flyer-2.pdf - - tags🏷 #jewish #liberal #progressive #lgtbq+ #lgtbqplus #intersectionality #torah #talmud #allyship #advocacy #community https://www.instagram.com/p/CEoPDGSgfbs/?igshid=z2b94cbmjmex
