Wicca :)

I got to the third page of this topic and have heard more homophobic responses than I can stomach... OMG!

Dear... god loves and accepts you fully no matter your sexual orientation... any one that says otherwise is caught up in a belief system that is DEAD WRONG! Be yourself and when you are old enough, either get the heck out of Utah or join a group that fights against the unjust... in accurate... and homophobic people who would say that being gay and loving another women is wrong... they are wrong... and when we all reach heaven we will laugh at the foolish notion they they now embrace...

They no not what they do....

Choose as you wish. I'd search within to find that answer. Do you need to search? Or is it something you already have?

I came across the following extract a while back whilst mooching through some Buddhist stuff.

"Homosexuality is not an illness or abnormality. It is about as common as left-handedness and homosexuality deserves to be regarded just as natural and unthreatening as left-handedness is today. (Remember there was a time when left-handed students were punished.)" - Buddhanet


Those Folks are not only the most pro-tollerance I've come across, but They apparently also have a doctrine to effect the end of All forms of suffering.

What a great statement ! ;) I remember my father telling me that very thing. He was hit for writing with his left hand. They (teachers) viewed it as "abnormal". I hope we are more evolved than that now. We can only hope that very soon, homosexuality will be viewed as you quoted above. :)

Yeah I thought it was a great perspective when I came across it, thanks ML.

I was gonna mention about how recent the 'left handed nonsense' patterns of thinking were about, I knew it was recent, but wasn't sure how recent !!

That info about your dad adds to the perspective I feel.

I think there's been a fair bit of positive shifting of attitudes in recent times, and like You I hope for more in the near future.


(edit - upon reflection, I can use this additional information you supplied as a reason to afford a degree of tollerance..... to the intollerant.... )

He was born in 1933 so that gives you a bit of perspective :)
