A prominent rabbi has said that the law would require all Jews to leave Britain. There is some backpeddling in Britain and the law may be modified, but everyone knows that the law is bound to be restored, and ultimately, it may remain on the books and then, Jews may have to leave England or else have their children forced to study toeivo.
The fear is that this law in England will be introduced by certain powerful elements in other countries, and America is suffering now from battles on these issues. In a recent poll, the majority of Americans backed gay rights. What will the future bring? Do all Jews have to go to Israel? At least, let them obey the great rabbis of the past generation, such as Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, whose paper demanding fighting gay rights in America was published on this blog. If we fight back, there is some hope. If we don't fight back, there is no hope.
The saddest thing is that we have people, even prominent Torah Jews, who have taken to saying, "We are against hate" and therefore we must not fight gay rights. This is a violation of the written Torah that we read on Yom Kippur, warning us about toeivo such as same-gender marriage and transgender sins. But now we have some prominent Jewish leaders who tell us that we are against hate, although the Torah demands that we hate evildoers.
