No - that is allowed by law in Israel - have a good time.

Good Luck!!!

joe the man

sure, of course you can.
me and my partner have been having our honeymoon for the last 20 years in jerusalem, and it's all good :)
so you're welcome and have fun.

Yes. Even a lesbian couple can have a honeymoon in Israel and nobody will know the difference.

You can go wherever you want- as long as it is not Mea Sha'arim (the ultra-Orthodox part of Jlem)... also, stay away from the Palestinian Territories; homosexuality is not accepted there and you might even encounter violence

I think gay couples should be able to do anything a heterosexual couples can in Israel.

No, not by law but they are free to do have their honeymoon if they want. No one will stop them.

no its forbidden!! You got that FORBIDDEN!!
Jerusalem is a HOLY land!!
that couple should go somewhere else away from the holy city!!!!!

By law they can, but in Jerusalem there's a good chance their behaviour would be frowned upon by the locals. Homosexuality is one of the few things that both Muslim Jerusalemites and Jewish Jerusalemites agree upon, and neither wants them in their neighborhood.
They can honeymoon in Jerusalem if they like, but they might feel uncomfortable.

You will have good company.

I don't see any problem Israel is a leader in human rights in many issues amognst them also gays, it still doesn't accept gay marriages but it will get there..... it does recognize civil samesex partners though....

regarding jerusalem - contact the sites I gave you above and ask if you need to know anything specific like not walking in certain places that would surely offend some closeminded religious ppl...

If you want one of the openest cities in the world to gays go to Tel Aviv.

"Government recognition of same-sex marriage is presently available in six countries and two U.S. states. The Netherlands was the first country to authorize same-sex marriage in 2001 and they are now also recognized in Belgium, Canada, South Africa, Spain, and the U.S. states of Massachusetts and Iowa, though Iowa's issuance of marriage licenses is on hold until a Supreme Court appeal is heard. Israel's High Court of Justice ruled to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other countries, although it is still illegal to perform them within the country."

Yes i think it is possible, but the locals might not be to impressed, but anyhow i hope you have a lovely honeymoon, if your talking about yourself that is.

lol

i dont see why not...

i mean, they cant really forbid ppl from going there...

they should be able to have their honeymoon anywhere they want and have fun. I would just be careful about showing too much affection around others. you just never know how they are going to take it.

cupcake:P

dude u can do what ever you want
who cares what their religions are that i not what u believe

trisha

no, they shouldn't have a honeymoon anywhere...gays are strictly against the Bible. God made woman for man and man for woman...He created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Something needs to be done about all these gays!!!

Kiki

i think gay couples should be able to do anything a heterosexual couples can

No one will pay you no mind
But in Jerusalem of all places ???? go to Sodom (Dead sea) or to Gomorrah (Dead sea) take lots of water.
Be careful though, GOD, he sends down lightning rods
they hit any protruding parts

Sherry S

just go, why do you have to tell people why your there? Be happy and just do whats in your heart! CONGRATS to you both.

Deidara

I wouldn't advise it. I don't think they are that accepting of homosexuality there.

But, if that's what you and your partner have decided, pack bullet-proof vests just in case.

eat drink and be merry!
and wear matching yamikas

No, but it is a big sin. The bible says they will burn in hell for eternity if they don't repent.
