Abstract
ABSTRACT Advocacy for open recognition and equality by Jewish LGBT people, both in their social communities and within temples and synagogues of each branch of contemporary Judaism, began in the 1970s with the founding of openly gay and lesbian congregations in England and the United States. This article traces the evolution of the arguments for and against inclusion over the last forty years through diverse publications from organizational and denomination documents and reports, periodical articles from the social sciences, personal accounts by LGBT Jews (both lay and members of the rabbinate), dissertations, and monographs.
