I would just like to clarify my earlier remarks. I did not mean "no halakhic
argument _ever_", just that contemporary halakhic responsa that I consulted did
not bring up Sodom in connection with homosexuality, even on the part of those
who are opposed to it, a fact which I found quite interesting. Also, the
Pentateuch and Haftorahs commentary represent a particular "reading" of
Scripture, but it is a commentary, not a responsum (an essay that details
aspects of halakhah). Thank you. --Mary Suydam
