Have lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Jews “made it” in liberal Judaism? Since 2006, the Conservative Movement opened two of its seminaries to gay and lesbian students, the Reform Movement ordained the first openly transgender rabbi, and Reconstructionists elected the first openly gay leader of a national rabbinic body. But too many LGBT Jews are still excluded from full integration into Jewish communal and institutional cultures. Come discuss the future of LGBT inclusion in Jewish life.
