    Jerusalem's chief rabbi: Attending gay wedding a 'horrible' crime

    Chief rabbi of Jerusalem, Rabbi Shlomo Amar, said those attending an LGBT wedding were transgressing a commandment much more severe than eating pork.

    Amar said he had already warned against partaking in such activities, adding that "If someone invites you to eat at a [restaurant serving pork] that's a thousand times better than attending a gay wedding."

    The rabbi said gentiles were also included in the prohibition against attending gay weddings.
