HUFFPOST:
Like all communities, the Orthodox Jewish one is comprised of many layers. In July 2010, Modern Orthodox rabbis around the country signed a groundbreaking Statement of Principles in “regard to the place of Jews with a homosexual orientation” in their community. While clearly stating that the parameters of Halacha (Jewish Law) prohibit same-sex sexual intercourse, the Principles still offered a message of compassion, empathy and inclusiveness of gay and lesbian Jews within the Orthodox community.

BY ROB SALERNO – Falcon-exclusive gay pornstar Trent Locke was in Toronto this weekend, where, he claims on his Twitter account (@TrentLockeXXX), he was robbed of his money and iPhone 4S.

So if anyone comes across a black-market iPhone full of nude pics of the furry hunk, do the right thing and send it back to him after you’re done masturbating.

Locke is using his old iPhone 4 now, which is why there were two Grindr profiles of him in Toronto all weekend, in case you were wondering. Luckily, Locke’s passport wasn’t stolen, so he’ll have no trouble getting back to the relative safety of Los Angeles at the end of his visit.
