Chief Rabbi Claims Jerusalem 'Disgusted' by Gays

Chief Rabbi Claims Jerusalem 'Disgusted' by Gays
http://forward.com/news/breaking-news/321762/chief-rabbi-claims-jerusalem-disgusted-by-gays/

Only months after an Israeli teen was murdered by an ultra-Orthodox man during the Jerusalem Gay Pride parade, the city’s chief rabbi Shlomo Amar has lashed out at the LGBT community, saying “I believe that this phenomenon will wane and disappear, because most of the public is disgusted by it and detest it.”

This clown does not get what the spirit of Jerusalem is. Odd that as someone so committed to his group not fading away he thinks LGBT people will fade away. Many orthodox are more understanding.

This chief rabbi is unworthy of authority. May God damn him.
