Attending a Lesbian Wedding
Question
Hello Rabbi,
A good friend invited me to her wedding to her female partner.
1. Is it permitted to attend the wedding?
2. Is there a difference between attending the "chuppah" ceremony and coming only for the dancing?
Thank you very much
Answer
I don’t think there is an outright prohibition, but I doubt I would go. When you celebrate in the context of a prohibition, that’s one thing; when you celebrate a prohibition, that’s another.
Are you coming from the groom’s side or the bride’s side? I think the answer to that question determines the answer to your question.
