Two Australian homos sure are breaking boundaries. Via Same Same:
Homosexuality and Judaism are not two things that you think would go together, but two Australian Jews are trying to change that.
Scott Whitmont and Christopher Whitmont-Stephenson will be the first Australian couple to have their relationship recognized by Jewish religious authorities. “We will be kosher,” Scott told the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday. “We are committed to each other, we love each other, we want to live a Jewish life together.”
So, which one’s going sacrifice their sack to the overbearing, guilt-inducing mother? We’d venture a guess, but they both look like bottoms to us.
The gents had a wedding last month, but are having another, more religious ceremony later this year. It’ll be the first of its kind in Australia. Unless some jealous queen sees their article and decides to get to Temple first, in which case, it won’t be…

mazel tov, for sure. But what’s with the ultra-WASP names?

I think they mean homosexuality and ORTHODOX Judaism? Even Conservatives now ordain out-gay rabbis, and Reform Judaism has long been the most gay-friendly of all major western religious denominations.

In the interest of accuracy..I’m one of the above mentioned “Australian homos” in the article.
The article was not referring to Orthodox Judaism. In Australia, the decision to allow Reform and Conservative Rabbis to perform same sex ceremonies was only made last month. In the U.S., the Conservative branch of Judaism began allowing it only in December. Our ceremony was actually 5 years ago – soon to be repeated for the official recognition.
Regarding the “ultra-WASP” names, “Whitmont” was once “Weissberger” and one of us is a convert to Judaism.
As for the editorial comment speculating that we both look like bottoms – that sure made us laugh. Wouldn’t you like to know?! Fantasize all you like – that’s our business and no one else’s!
