Conscious of the origins, this is how my co-editor, Jeffrey Kaye, covered the matter in the Sholem Family Hagada For a Secular Celebration of Peysakh:
"There is also an orange on our seyder plate. It was added to the tradition in recent years. It symbolizes all the people and groups not fully recognized in much of the Jewish community. Among them are women, gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals and transgendered people. For us, the orange on the seyder plate also represents the fruitful contributions of Secular Jews who understand peysakh historically and culturally, as well as traditionally, and all the intercultural families whom we welcome and celebrate."
