(What a shame this will be if the Israeli court recognizes a homosexual marriage in the land that Jesus grew up in and preached the gospel.  Also their Old Testament forbids homosexuality.)

Homosexual Couple In Israel Petitions Court To Recognize Marriage

"A homosexual couple filed a petition on Tuesday with the High Court of Justice demanding that the Population Registry, a branch within the Interior Ministry, register them as a married couple."

"The couple, attorney Jonathan Herland, a 29-year-old Canadian who immigrated to Israel four years ago, and Ayal Walerauch, 26, have lived together for two years. In July 2005 they wed in a civil ceremony in Toronto. However, the Interior Ministry refuses to recognize their marriage."

"In March, two homosexual couples petitioned the High Court under similar circumstances. Both couples married in Canada, and had the marriages approved by Israeli consuls there."

 
"The court will hold hearings on these couples? petitions in two weeks."
