Inclusive gay & Jewish community since the 1970s

Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum says:

"The Jewish community was behind the Christian, especially the Protestant community was — In the '60s There were Proetstant priests and ministers who were great leaders of the LGBT movement or lesbian and gay movement. And in 1973 when CBST was founded, there was not a single rabbi, not a single Jewish organization, not a single synagogue, not a single Jewish civil rights organization which supported gay rights. So CBST was founded and the LGBT movement was founded by lesbians and gay men in quite a hostile environment. Really before synagogues like CBST started, or BCC in Los Angeles which was three months beore CBST, you had to make a choice: you had to either...live a gay life but there was no way you could go into a Jewish community, or you could live a Jewish life and sublimate or live a secret life or live a hidden life as a gay person. So it wasn't until 19 — the end of '72 or '73 that there was anything in the Jewish world that was different."
