[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do Jewish people think about LGTBQ people?[/quote]

It's not really about what the whole religion thinks. Judaism is not a monolith. Most Jews in the world live in the secular world where there is no issue with LGBTQ + at all.

Orthodox Jews live and practice as fundamentalists, so like Christian and Moslem fundamentalists, it is not accepted. [/quote]

I know plenty of people who are not religious who don’t accept LGBTQ +. [/quote]

Of course, and I know those people too- (and I know some orthodox Jews who privatel) accept LGBTQ) , but the question wasn't about  who, individually, is a homophobe, is that not correct? The question had to do with Judaism's organizational stance. I stand by my answer. [/quote]

I didn’t know conservative Jewish people are homophobic bigots.[/quote]

Well, what is hard to understand? Like Christian and Moslem fundamentalists,  they believe in biblical edicts. It's really no different. However,  the majority of Jewish people in the world are not observant in this way, just like the majority of people in thd world don't ascribe to Christian or other fundamentalism.

And just to clarify,  outside of what is known as Jewish orthodoxy, there are distinctions such as Reform, Reconstructionist, and Conservative.  So even though that distinction is called "Conservative" they really aren't conservative  in the way that you think. Conservative Judaism per se (not to be confused with orthodox Judaism) doesn't negate LGBTQ +.

And within orthodox Judaism, there are  likely plenty of individuals who stand up for  LGTBQ + rights and people, I've seen that, but probably  not as vocally  as one would want, however they wouldn't have a place being queer  themselves in this religious realm. I imagine there are many LGBTQ+ individuals within the community living a charade- just like in every religious group. Everyone knows that. [/quote]
