Jews in South Africa allow gay marriage -- others, not so much

Despite what they'd like you to believe, there are some liberal religions out there:
The South African Union for Progressive Judaism (SAUPJ) said on Monday it had decided to allow marriage between Jewish couples of the same gender.

"This decision was arrived at after long and thoughtful deliberation and in the spirit of what Progressive Judaism is about - inclusion of all Jews regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity," said SAUPJ chairperson Steve Lurie.

Well... sometimes there are, at least.
