 Citing R. Daniel Sperber's view that rabbinic prohibitions can be negated by the "kevod habriyot" principle, the responsum declared all rabbinic prohibitions restricting homosexual activity lifted.Finding that the principle of "kevod habriyot" could only override rabbinic and not Biblically mandated restrictions, the responsum left in place what it found to be the only Biblically mandated restriction involved, a prohibition on male-male anal sex.Rabbi Joel Roth wrote a responsum which supported maintaining traditional restrictions on homosexual behavior, which was also adopted by a majority of the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards.
