www.wearequeeraf.com/the-jewish-t... While we're talking about historical precedents, and given it's Valentine's day, it seems a perfect time to repost this piece Jaime Starr wrote about a transgender lesbian couple, one of whom converted to Judaism for her love before the pair escaped the Nazis.

Friends, @'ing an elected on this website is not a substitute for reaching out to their office as a constituent. Most electeds are not going to see 99% of the posts they're tagged in
