Wanted to share this:

Monosphere is visiting Holland at the moment and I gave him a small booklet, some sort of 'gay and lesbian introduction to Amsterdam' thingie.. there was this passage in it about a jewish organisation for gays.. called... (and this is the funny part)..:

Sjalhomo

They also have a magazine called 'Oi'.. hehe.. I just think this is great, that a religion can be so openminded with even a though of humor.
Anyways.. they have a website but it's in Dutch.. it's HERE (http://www.sjalhomo.dds.nl/site_nl/oi/2002-05/index.htm)

Monosphere is in Amsterdam now and I'm gonna join him and Taylor there again today.. maybe hit the RLD tonight :)

*edit*: on that Dutch website is a link to an english one.. for jewish gays, lesbians, transgenders and bisexuals: HERE (http://www.usc.edu/isd/archives/oneigla/tb/)

Is it just me, or is there an unsually high proportion of Jewish lesbians?

I swear to god, 3/4 of the lesbians I know are Jewish. Yet I don't know a ton of Jewish people in general. It's kinda cool...

I've never seen any survey of lesbians based on their religious background. I don't know where this unusually high proportion of Jewish lesbians are being met.

I'm a Jewish gay male Wiccan solitary practitioner. There are some people who find comfort in their religion as a group activity or collective. I prefer my solitude and the personalization of my customs and traditions which I practice without comment or assessment by others.

Is there supposed to be a scant hint of intelligence anywhere in this?
