Some other stuff has been going through my mind too and it's about appearance, our own and of those we desire. How much is it about this than it is about spirit?

I always thought that being Homosexual meant having a equal balance of both feminine and masculine(yin/yang) energies within the human body.
for example..
Being male and being fully attracted to another male will mean that the soul within that body is advanced and is equally balanced in energy.
--
I believe that souls are genderless and caring being attracted to any other gender is natural because who you are isnt the body or the gender of the body you are the soul.

Being Homosexual or Bisexual isnt a choice. You are who you are and there are so many layers of different souls on this planet, there can only be one of you so being yourself if totally natural.

It's no issue being gay or bi or other sexuality, so there's no need to justify it with grandiose spiritual delusions. Most people are heterosexual and from all walks of religion and spiritual practice, same as people of minority sexualities...

Anything that challenges us is an issue, by definition. Issues are what 'anchor' our attention, forcing us to deal with them in some way, thus define ourselves, thus express the universe.
There is nothing about being LGBT that is any more 'spiritual' than any other issue - nor any less.

I think that all relationships can be spiritual. Being yourself is the core of spirituality. If you are homosexual, then being yourself is the best thing you can do for you. Who knows why you chose to be homosexual in this lifetime? God is not a judge, he/she is an observer.

I do like Mr Tolle's idea about this in 'The Power of Now.'
Basically he says that to delve into homosexuality can be a good thing because it allows us to review ourselves outside of the paradigm or example that society has ordained for us but that if we go to the point of labeling ourselves as homosexuals we have somewhat missed the point.
So sexuality, homosexual or otherwise, is merely sex, always has been and always will be, and the question to be asked if sex is spiritual is not the style involved but is the sex supported by the spirituality or does the spirituality support the sex? Would the sex continue without the spirituality and vice versa would the spirituality continue without the sex?
I mentioned appearance and mine isn't so good so maybe that's why I haven't had much sex. But I have seen those whose appearance is good indulging in a manner of sexual pursuits and it almost seems as if this appearance which enables sexual attractiveness to remain unquestioned is somewhat detrimental in the long run as they rely on that appearance so much more than could be seen as spiritually... um, healthy? balanced?
This is what struck me at the very beginning of this thread and the question isn't so far asked. That the question of why there is sex in the first place or my appearance allows me to indulge so how can I then make it become 'more' spiritual?
Don't wash yourself for three weeks then approach your partners for sex and love.... lol, that'd take it all to all spiritual level.

Sexuality is only one aspect of each human being......are we not more than our sexual orientation? and why such a focus on who's doing what to whom sexually.....who cares.....
