Votes were taken and an announcement has been made by the Law Committee of Conservative Judaism.

GOOD NEWS: Should I so desire, I can now apply to the rabbinical program at Los Angeles’ University of Judaism. I expected the approval of this Dorff paper.

BAD NEWS: There are or were 6 rabbis on this committee who are so ill-informed that they actually found it appropriate to endorse reparative therapy. I expected the approval of the Roth paper but apparently the Levy paper was approved as well.
