So... last week, our women's prayer group met, and there were some new women there. A couple of them expressed interest in learning to read Torah, which is great, because I got stuck with way too much myself that week.
One woman was just so happy she'd found out about us. We were talking at kiddush after services, and Havah invited her and her husband to come for lunch this Shabbat. She said she'd love to come.
I talked with Havah later, because I was a little worried that maybe she didn't get that we're a couple. It's not exactly the usual circumstance in an Orthodox Jewish community. But she got that we lived in the same home, anyway.
She called us Saturday night after Shabbat to confirm, and to make sure she had our address right. And then last night (Thursday night), she called again. She said her husband just didn't feel comfortable coming here. She said she'd tried all week to convince him, but that he'd come home that day and asked her to please just call and cancel.
And I know that in the Orthodox community, people like her are a small minority and people like him are the vast majority, so I should probably be more grateful that she's like she is than bummed that he's like he is, but that's not how I feel.
Damn.

I guess the main thing is that I fear socializing with gay people having an influence on my children. (Like they don't know 300 straight couples for any one gay couple we meet).

I used to wonder this all the time. Then I realized that most men are convinced, consciously or unconsciously, that lesbians just prefer women, and wouldn't object to an extra penis here and there.

Thing is, we, as humans, evolved from polygamy. Powerful men throughout humanities history (and well before history) have had multiple mates.
It only makes sense that women who have to share a man would develop the ability to enjoy each other. It also only makes sense that a man would enjoy "his women" enjoying each other.

Here's a quick Google stab:
quote: Number of homosexuals in Australia Nationwide figure - 1.2% of adults identify as homosexual or lesbian. * 1.6% of adult men identified as homosexual and 0.8% of women as lesbian. * 1.4% of women and 0.9% of men said they were bisexual.
...
CANADA – (as comparison) 1.3% of men and 0.7% of women considered themselves homosexual. 0.9% of women, compared with 0.6% of men, said they were bisexual.
Thus, at a quick glance it does seem that given two women that are interested in each other, there is at least a fair chance that they might be bisexual as well and interested in an extra guy.
At least, the chance is better than when given two men that are interested in each other (as to whether they'd be interested in an extra woman as well).

quote:According to men, aren't all women just one drink away from a lesbian experience?
I've had a lot of close female friends in my life, and when I got to know them well enough, almost all of them have revealed sexual attraction to women. When did they reveal this? After a few drinks of course.
Even one of my friends who consistently said the idea was not the least bit appealing to her admitted one night while we were drinking together that she'd once had intercourse with a woman before, and that she liked it. Sometime down the line she forgot she had told me, and the next time she said "that's gross" I called her on it .
Add in the fact that I've seen "straight" girls at parties start making out with each other on more than one occasion, and the perception is pretty impossible to NOT have.
While I don't think every woman is sexually attracted to other women, I think it is true for a very significant percentage of them. I have had a very small sample size, so I wouldn't venture a guess as to what the percentage is. At least not on hatrack .

My gay friend tells me women are less defined sexually then men so women's views on orientation are not as applicable. I would be curious how much of that is society. It seems like if you are a guy and ever think about another guy, then you are gay. It doesn't matter how many women you have been with, if they interest you or not, one gay thought and you are gay.

I would add though, I can't really imagine a hypothetical "natural man without society" coming across two women and being repulsed or neutral about it. Society may teach men to be *more* attracted by it (than two women separately) but there has to be at least some initial drive towards it.

If they want to invite us, we'll be there with bells on (whatever that strange expression means). And then we'll feel we can invite them again. It's a sensitive thing, you know. Tova has a friend from school whose mother has no problem having Tova over for meals and playdates, and having her daughter come over here, too. But they've never yet accepted a Shabbat invitation.

True, well someone asked about your view of the Orthodox stance on homosexuality. Male homosexuality is forbidden, but women are not addressed in the law, is that correct?
Actually, Omega had asked what the Orthodox Jewish position was. Not necessarily what I think it is. Bear in mind that you'll get a very different answer from Rivka (and probably a one-liner from Tante).
There's a sex act between women that's forbidden, just as there's one between men that's forbidden. The one between men is forbidden from the Torah, but the one between women... it's a matter of dispute as to whether it's from the Torah or whether it's rabbinic. Either way, forbidden is forbidden.
The catch is that not everyone agrees on what exactly the act is in the case of women. The term used by the rabbis is close to unique in Jewish literature.
Because of this, books in English (either translations or original works) tend to translate the term loosely as "lesbianism" or "lesbian acts", which begs the whole question.
A woman I know was told by a prominent rebbetzin (rabbi's wife) that it means having sex in the missionary position, and that anything else isn't a problem. In the case of men, sex acts beyond the one specific forbidden one are also forbidden, but to a lesser extent than the main one, and again, it's a matter of dispute whether these extensions are from the Torah or rabbinic. But no such extensions exist for the act that's forbidden to women.
A prominent ultra-Orthodox rabbi was interviewed for the movie Trembling Before G-d, and he said, on film, that there's nothing wrong with two women setting up a household together and living that way instead of getting married. Not that he thought it was optimum, and not that he was okaying any kind of sex or anything. Sandi, the director of the movie, didn't choose to include that clip in the movie (which was the main reason I had him take my name out of the credits).
The issue for lesbians in the Orthodox community is much more a social one than a matter of Jewish law. Which is not to say that it isn't major.
Posted by Mucus (Member # 9735) on :
JH: Huh? Is that a response to me? When did I bring myself into the conversation?
As Douglas Adams said (paraphrased badly), we're not proud of our ancestors and rarely invite them over for dinner.
The upshot is that while I personally am not a big fan of the whole thing, I can recognise that if one of my great great great great (great...) ancestors came across two women doing a sex act in the middle of the African savannah, he would probably find it more attractive than say, a few more minutes of say foraging for grubs.
I would find it pretty unlikely if his thought process was "one woman? take a look! two women? WTH! Ignore them or run away!"
We're not making any moral judgements on the matter, that same great-ancestor deprived of civilization may very well not use toilet paper and drive with a manual transmission...and may very well be attracted to other people that don't use toilet paper.
That doesn't mean that I'm attracted to people that don't wipe and just because its natural doesn't mean I want to go back to that either.

Doesn't matter. Men are visual and simple minded. (That is to say we're rudimentary, not stupid.)
Men like looking at women. 2 is a bigger number than 1. So looking at 2 women is not going to be a bad thing, and has potential to be twice as good at looking at 1 woman.
I hope I stated all that with sufficient tact.

Of course, it's not all Orthodox Jews, or even all "black hatters". Not everyone in the group is so narrow minded and bigoted. But it makes me feel ashamed to be associated with people who act like that.
You should know that you and your partner would always be welcome at my Shabbos table, and that my family would do all they could to make you feel welcome. I'd be honored to sit next to you in Shul, and to be your friend openly and without apology.
It's not all frum Jews who are bigots. Just the bigoted ones. I'm sorry that you had to cross paths with someone who hurt you. I believe that it reflects more negatively on the bigot than on the one against whom the bigotry is directed.
You are a proud woman, of great accomplishment. You deserve to hold your head high wherever you go.
You also should know that I've taken a stand, and it is a bit outspoken, not to remain silent in the face of bigotry. When I am talking with someone who makes a bigoted remark, I force myself to speak up and disagree, when I can.

I know exactly what you mean. But it's a marvelous gift to have been wronged and to still give the wrongdoer the opportunity to right it. I'm very glad you have taken this approach.
Your situation reminds me alot of being a missionary. The most similar situation would be a husband or wife who was a member while their spouse was very much against it. The member spouse would invite us over and it was a gauntlet to befriend the non-member spouse while trying to persuade them that we were not out to trick them into joining the church.
In the event the non-member spouse treated me impolitely I found the best response was to ignore it, and down the road never speak of it. More often then not the person who had been rude would approach me in their own way and reconcile things with me.

That's kind of the crux of it. The idea that men are the "standard" for sexuality is the problem, imo, in this breakdown of our sexuality.
When we say women are sexually "flexible," why do we not say that men are "inflexible," because that is far more true. Men really do prefer to go straight off in one direction or another, and don't trust those who claim to be bisexual often times, assuming they are "gay with a publicist."
From what I've learned in basic psych courses and from loveline (where they often talked about active scans of the brain in various states of arousal), men view the sexuality of other men as threatening. It is not so much that women find each other attractive because women are more inherently attractive, but because women are naturally more receptive to sexuality and less threatened by it. It would stand to reason that women would not be sexually threatened by other women in the same way as men are by other men, because of the roles of the sexes that are common among all mammals.
So guys, I think it's we who are uptight. Though I have no reason to believe that nature did not intend such a state- I prefer a woman who is at least interested in sex, and I think seeing someone (or two someones) being sexually evocative is appealing. I tend to believe I was made that way.
