An encyclopedia entry on the Society for Humanistic Judaism, founded in 1969 by Rabbi Sherwin Wine and headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan as the central body of Humanistic Judaism in North America. States the Society issued a resolution in 2004 supporting the legal recognition of marriage and divorce between adults of the same sex and affirming the value of marriage between any two committed adults with the sense of obligations, responsibilities and consequences that follow, and pledged in 2010 to speak out against homophobic bullying. States members of the LGBTQIA community may participate in every ritual and take on leadership roles in any capacity, with no restriction on whom a Humanistic Jewish rabbi or celebrant will officiate for.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
A crowd-sourced encyclopedia entry, used because the movement's own site returns forbidden to an ordinary reader; the entry names and dates the 2004 resolution and 2010 pledge it draws on rather than asserting the position unattributed. NotesCited for Humanistic Judaism's sexuality-position and its detail.
