Queer Jews in Brazil
Posted by Meredith on Aug 1, 2005 at 06:19PM in News Reports - permalink

The next time I feel like I'm in the minority, I'm going to remember the queer Jews of Brazil. There is an article called In Brazil, gay and lesbian Jews struggle for Jewish acceptance from the JTA, a Jewish news service. Gays and lesbians in many parts of Brazil are free to be out - Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo both had gay pride festivities this year - but gay Jews are definitely in the minority; the only gay Jewish group in the country, JGBR, has just over 300 members.
