Gays and lesbians: Out of isolation

Arlene Zucker says she is one of the lucky ones.

Members of the congregation and her colleagues at the Bay Shore Jewish Center, where she is the part-time cantor, know she is a lesbian and are supportive. Zucker, 57, of Babylon, is also open at her other job as the controller at Temple Sinai, a reform congregation in Roslyn Heights where she was ceremonially married on June 4, 2006.
