Where does Reconstructionism stand regarding homosexuality and same-sex marriage?
We were the first movement to publicly address this issue in our 1988 report on homosexuality. In addition we were the first movement to accept openly gay and lesbian students into the RRC. We retain an unwavering commitment to forming inclusive communities, welcoming to gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered Jews, as well as multicultural families, Jews of color, and other groups traditionally excluded from full participation in Jewish communal life. Issues relating to the gay and lesbian family are included in religious school curricula. Our rabbis are free to perform same-sex commitment or marriage ceremonies if it is their practice to do so.
