My Jewish Learning's overview of Orthodox Judaism and LGBTQ issues: states that across the spectrum of Orthodox practice the consensus view is that gay sex and marriage are inconsistent with Jewish tradition, and describes the 2010 Statement of Principles on the Place of Jews with a Homosexual Orientation in Our Community, drafted by a Yeshivat Chovevei Torah faculty member, which called for gay individuals to be welcomed as full and equal members of Orthodox communities while explicitly rejecting acceptance of same-sex relationships or marriage.

Reliability Tier3
A general-audience Jewish educational reference site describing a communal consensus and a named 2010 statement, not itself the primary text of that statement; the fetched page names neither an individual author nor a publication date, an absence recorded here rather than left silent. The Statement of Principles' own primary text was not reachable and so is not cited separately; what is cited here is only this secondary account of it. Citation
