Israel’s High Court of Justice unanimously ruled on Thursday that same-sex couples are eligible to adopt children.

The verdict was reached by three presiding justices following a petition, which argued that Section 3 of the Adoption Law must be interpreted so LGBT couples would be eligible to adopt within the scope of the existing law.

    I would be willing to bet that there are maybe, at most, 50 people out in Gaza out of 800,000. And even that might be high.

    There are no protections at all in Gaza, and you’re quite likely to be the recipient of an honor killing.
