A community member I talked with had a lot of contact with gay men and said that through his work he has seen a lot of suffering and found that love is love and that all people go through the same things. Another person heard the portion applying more to ritual life than to the everyday since this Torah portion begins and ends with the message to have different practices than those around you. It was suggested to me that it takes generations to experience the whole Torah. That throughout one's life you should put your heart into different parts of the Torah and live that particular moment to it's fullest rather than trying to live it all and never really get the wholeness of the experience. It is a blueprint for the long term survival of the Jewish people.
Generations always emphasize or de-emphasize different parts.
It is a lasting gift and teaching, almost too much for one lifetime. Who we are is part of God and God is inside all of us. Now there is evidence that our sexuality is genetic and in the very core of our being. Not just a choice that someone makes. During one of my first meetings with Margaret she told me about when she worked in a temple where many gays and lesbians came to pray.
