Oddly relevant when one sees the dross the Phelps creates, the great association of clerics, the Keshet Rabbis, whose site I gave some small assistance to when it was launched, have formed a sub-site of Cantors.

Now I am not hugely familair with pecking orders of Jewish clerics, but I understand a Cantor is a junior rank and is often on his or her route to becoming a Rabbi.

The thing, therefore, that is very pleasing is that a junior cleric is likely to be a younger cleric. This means that support is growing for young GLBT Jews globally.

The lists of Rabbis and Cantors who are available to help and counsel worldwide is growing regularly. It is by no means a majority of that formal grouping of clergy, but it is public and is significant. Also of note is that these people are not necessarily gay themselevs. I suspect the overwhelming majority are simply good and supportive people who are doing their job - caring for those in need of help - well and properly.

http://www.keshetrabbis.org/KeshetCantors.html It is a list. Nonethless I commend it to you.

Brian, your post about those great people in power who should be doing something... Here is a list of those who are great in their communities and are reaching beyond the boundaries to do something.
