Boteach wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed column on homosexuality that it is "akin to the prohibition against lighting fire on the Sabbath or eating bread during Passover;" but contends that the Bible is not vague with regard to homosexuality – it stands in contravention to the divine will. He believes that the biggest threat to marriage doesn’t come from gay marriage, but heterosexual divorce. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach opposes the government's involvement in recognizing marriage, but supports state sanctioned civil unions for all.[32][33][34]
