The spirit of your message is beautiful, but, naive. Yes - unity is an ideal we Jews must strive for - but if you are alluding to the "proudly" gay Jewish community, I think your really begging the question and granting legitimacy to individuals who normative Judaism considers sinners of the highest rank - not by virtue of their sinful actions alone - but by their militancy in seeking to validate their lifestyle. Is there a point at which one loses his right to be a part of the community?

Actually, according to the Talmud, Yom Kippur and 15 Av are the two happiest days of the Jewish year.
