Interestingly enough, MK Moshe Feiglin (Likud Beyteynu) took part in a conversation/interview on the Facebook page of an organization called "Kamocha" - an organization for "religious orthodox homosexuals".
You can see the entire interview on the FB page (linked above) and on the website.. (the interview covered, briefly, many topics, not all connected to issues of homosexuality)
One question asked was up until what task would you be prepared to support a religious homosexual candidate? Mayor? MK? Prime Minister?
Feiglin's answer was "everything (even a rav), except for the role of prime minister".
Asked but not answered was "why not prime minister?" - humorously suggesting that maybe it is because Feiglin wants that job for himself..
The question remains though, why not? If you don't support the freedom of a homosexual to hold public roles, at all, I disagree but I understand the position. If you do support the holding of public roles, why draw the line in that way? Why can he be everything except prime minister? what's special about the prime ministerial role that MK Feiglin thinks a homosexual cannot fulfill properly, while he can fulfill any other role in society?
I don't get it.
