Amir Ohana (Likud; Knesset Speaker; Israel's first openly gay Speaker; ex-Justice & Public-Security Minister) — inaugural address as Speaker (per Times of Israel, 29 Dec 2022): as a gay man leading a right-religious coalition with anti-LGBT partners, vowing "This Knesset, under the leadership of this speaker, won't hurt them or any other family, period." The gay-right / nationalist-LGBT paradox pole.

This Knesset, under the leadership of this speaker, won't hurt them or any other family, period.

[Source is English (The Times of Israel, 29 December 2022, reporting his inaugural address upon election as Knesset Speaker; ToI's English rendering of his Hebrew speech; ToI closes the quote with a comma before "he said," rendered here as a sentence-final period, words unchanged); tier-2, confirmed verbatim against the fetched page. CAREFUL ATTRIBUTION: on the same page, the "LGBTQ-ism as an agenda and as a political movement" and "Stalinist cleansings… McCarthyist persecution" lines are Avi Maoz's, and "we aren't happy with the path he's taking but we look at the person and not his tendencies" is Shas MK Yoav Ben-Tzur's — all excluded.] Declared positions of Amir Ohana — a Likud politician, Israel's Knesset SPEAKER (from December 2022), and previously Justice Minister and Public Security Minister; the son of Maghrebi (Moroccan) Jewish immigrants. Ohana is a political paradox and a distinct cell: a hardline, security-hawkish NETANYAHU LOYALIST of the nationalist right who is also Israel's FIRST OPENLY GAY government minister and Knesset Speaker — raising two children with his partner, Alon Haddad ("the second half of my life"). In his inaugural address he thanked his parents for accepting him "for who I am" and, as the gay Speaker of a right-religious coalition that included anti-LGBT partners, vowed: "This Knesset, under the leadership of this speaker, won't hurt them or any other family, period." He generally subordinates identity to nation and security (he does not champion LGBT "identity politics" and has stayed away from special LGBTQ-rights sessions), yet his very presence — and that pledge — place him in direct tension with the religious social-conservative right (Avi Maoz, who decried same-sex families as not an "authentic Jewish norm"). This is the ISRAELI GAY-RIGHT / NATIONALIST-LGBT pole — security-nationalism and Likud loyalty coexisting with an openly gay family life — a distinct intersection that complicates the "left-owns-LGBT / right-owns-religion" binary, and a CONTESTED CELL with both the religious right (Maoz) and the left's framing of LGBT politics. [Axes: identity / LGBT (an openly gay nationalist; "won't hurt… any other family"; identity subordinated to nation), religion-state / society (tension with the anti-LGBT religious right inside his own coalition), security / nationalism (hardline Likud; Netanyahu loyalist; ex-Justice & Public-Security Minister), democracy / institutions (Knesset Speaker through the judicial-overhaul era).]
