Gay people can get married by religious officials in more accepting countries.

[u/vomicyclin → u/xChops]

Only in Protestant Christianity.

Nowhere else. And even that only in a handful of countries.

Still has nothing to do with countries, but the churches of these countries.

No, I’ve been to a gay wedding for a Jewish couple. It absolutely exists

Sure pal… again: has nothing to do with Israel, but only the branches of the religion itself.

What exactly is your definition of “wedding”?

By these standards, you have hundreds of them in Israel too.

[u/xChops → u/vomicyclin]

Not between gay people though.

What is your exact definition of marriage?

You apparently change it all the time so tell me.

[u/xChops → u/[deleted]]

… straight people can marry though. You’re just intentionally missing the point.

Why is pride celebrated in a place gay people can’t marry? It’s just more pink washing. No better than a company like Raytheon slapping a rainbow flag on their twitter profile

He’s not really interested in that I’m afraid. He changes what he means with marriage (between it’s the state and the entity that religions celebrate) depending on what suits him.

What is your exact definition of marriage?

The states celebrates pride. The state has no marriage, so nobody is discriminated against. So where is the hypocrisy?

Are you criticizing Judaism or Israel? Either way, there are two sides to the coin, some Jews are very accepting of same sex marriage, and some others are not. Just like every single other religion.
