DEAR FRIENDS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS! My friend Mark Shamalov and I heard about the recent GAY MARRIAGE in the BUKHARIAN COMMUNITY of QUEENS. We were APPALLED and disturbed by this and after speaking with friends and relatives decided we won't take this sitting down - we will DO something about it!! Understand, if we keep quiet, soon the next fad in our community will be gay marriages, because everyone will think it's OK, one couple did it and there was NO negative reaction. Well, we won't let it happen..... Sign the petition and we will send it to the restaurant owners in Queens as well as the Rabbis who provide hashgacha and LET THEM KNOW... We will NOT ALLOW PUBLIC DISPLAYS of GAY MARRIAGES in our community!! No, this was not a private marriage where the couple just went to get the marriage license in city hall... they did it in a "GLATT" kosher restaurant in the heart of Queens.. Where was the Rabbi who supervises the kashrut??? Where were the protests??? How could we allow PARTYING for such a cause in our wonderful community? People, WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't wait until it's too late and your children are next in line. SAVE OUR COMMUNITY!! SHOW WE DO CARE, and WON'T TOLERATE THIS! Take a minute of your time to sign and PASS ON!

I honestly cannot believe how fast this is moving and how many people are finally waking up to the pressure we need to apply on these restaurants. People keep messaging me saying they felt exactly the same way but were just waiting for someone else to finally say it out loud which is exactly why we have to keep this energy going because the rabbis and owners are definitely starting to notice.

Disgraceful. Our traditions are being mocked right in front of us. Glad someone is finally speaking up about this.

Kashrut standards are clearly out the window. Where was the mashgiach? This makes a mockery of our whole community.
