Related: About this forumGrandson of famously homophobic religious leader to marry boyfriend
https://www.queerty.com/grandson-famously-homophobic-religious-leader-marry-boyfriend-20180609The grandson of a staunchly homophobic former chief Rabbi is set to marry his boyfriend in the coming days.
Ovadia Cohens grandfather, the late Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, was the religious leader of the Shas political party and the ex-Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel.
Yosef, who died in 2013 at the age of 93, once referred to World Pride Day in Jerusalem as filth and regularly referenced homosexuality as completely evil.
Cohen had a complicated relationship with his grandfather, having grown up in his home after the divorce of his parents.

Too bad he didn't live to see the day.
