'A historic, groundbreaking victory which gives a shred of light and hope in these difficult times.'

Israel’s High Court of Justice unanimously ruled on Thursday that same-sex couples are eligible to adopt children.

The verdict was reached by three presiding justices following a petition, which argued that Section 3 of the Adoption Law must be interpreted so LGBT couples would be eligible to adopt within the scope of the existing law.

    There are no free passes. Both sides slaughter each others children.

    And then one slaughters their gay children themselves.

    One does not need to equate these - or diminish the good in what Israel is doing. It’s progress. May there be much more.
