At least two Jewish schools have cancelled a visit by a Chasidic rabbi from Jerusalem who has been accused of making homophobic statements.

In 2015, the Israeli news site Ynet reported that Rabbi Horowitz, when asked about equal rights for same-sex couples, had suggested it would be as inconceivable as granting rights for murderers.

"There is a community which wants to murder other people," he told the newspaper. "It's their nature and they must murder – so we should give them equality? Why give them equality, because they are murderers?”

Religious gay men had the option of either suppressing their desire or marrying a woman.”Some women want sons, and they don't care how they do it," he was quoting as saying. "Some women don't really want a relationship with a man, so it's possible.”
