The author explores the notion of “an eye for an eye,” arguing that traditional Jewish commentary has always read the “eye for an eye” idea as a kind of metaphor, as a call to take justice seriously. She then uses this concept to discuss accusations within the LGBT community leveled between gay men and lesbians. She also discusses whether LGBT communities insulate themselves from straights, or if they invest equally in LGBT and straight causes. She concludes by arguing that the answer to these questions is the Jewish ethical call to “equal opportunity justice”: helping and caring for the world of humans around us makes our lives richer.
