In this essay, I have referred only to the book of Genesis and thus have chosen not to mention the prohibitions against homosexuality included in Leviticus, for it seems to me that what is at stake
now is not homosexuality, which is a fact, a reality, whatever my view of it as a rabbi might be, but the risk of irreversibly scrambling genealogies, questions of legal and social status (the child - as - subject becoming child - as - object), and
identities — a
confusion that would be harmful to society as a whole and that would lose sight of the general interest in seeking the advantage of a tiny minority.
