A guest minister, well applauded by the congregation got up and announced that if the congregation really loved her, then they should all join with her to stop the legalization of gay marriage in Hawaii. This was applauded. Tolerance for sexual variety is sane, for sexual variety is normal. Only when we rise to the spiritual level of non-duality do we transcend the duality, and from that place of oneness we can observe all the world's dichotomies and be at peace with them, and with the paradox that both the oneness and the duality coexist. There is no enemy, only other pieces of God.
Nothing is made to go away by fighting it.
First it is important for the homosexual to set-aside all the past abuse, and move into compassion for the homophobe. While the homosexual has embraced their homosexuality, the homophobe is in denial and judgment about their homosexual attractions. Those who are not at peace externally are suffering from unresolved internal conflict over the issue. This concept can be applied to any dichotomy, sexuality is only one. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Every aspect of our existence is created by our own choices, though becoming conscious of all of them may necessitate awakening to remember past life choices which create karma which causes current circumstances.
