Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas Party member Shlomo Benizri asked Israeli lawmakers to, “stop passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes”.
In the past 20 years Israel has passed laws legalizing homosexuality, granting inheritance rights, recognition of same sex marriages from abroad and adoption rights for homosexuals.
Mr. Benizri’s comment comes after two earthquakes shook the area last week and four more rumbler's occurred in November and December. It is unknown how many homosexuals were required to trigger an earthquake with their sexual escapades.
