Teh Gayz are taking over the synagogues now too

Homosexuals are in.

A follow up to my last post: Three of the 5 papers on the table passed with at least 6 votes, one of which was on the pro-ordination side. This means that Conservative seminaries are now permitted to admit gays and lesbians to their rabbinical and cantorial programs. Starting immediately, UJ will. JTS may follow suit.

Interestingly, all of the 3 papers that passed still forbid anal sex.

Update 6:46pm EST The Jewish Telegraphic Agency posted a longer article.

Nope. They may or may not be released eventually (one hopes that at least the ones that passed get released), but they never are prior to a vote. The Conservative movement, and the CJLS in particular, have major transparency problems, especially in comparison to Orthodox Judaism, which is rather open source.

Even if they don't get released, I'm sure there'll be detailed summaries of them out eventually.

i heard they started publishing their tshuvot, but their years behind and playing catch-up, and ridiculously expensively bound.
DOn't see why they can't put hire someone to put their stuff online the way masorti does.
