Gay Marriage

DES MOINES — Same-sex couples will be allowed to marry in Iowa by month’s end, after a ruling on Friday by the Iowa Supreme Court that found unconstitutional a state law limiting marriage to a man and a woman.

The Torah/Teaching is a document used by many nations to provide a moral guide, but without knowing the Oral Tradition which accompanies the written text mistakes are inevitable—take sexuality. According to the Torah only Jewish men are forbidden same sex sexual relationships—there is no implicit prohibition to males not Jewish; perhaps it is why the greatest love, according to the Talmud-Book of Law was between Dovid and Yonaton—two men.

In Torah there is no proscription against woman being with other woman; it was how woman were able to be independent from men even while married.

According to the Zohar-Book of Secret the first letter Aleph is representative of the sexual relationship between man and woman; the Zohar concludes that a man should not speak to his woman like a whore because it will cause his destined children to be of improper behavior.
