buddhism is not the same as the myths of the Bible

in buddhism, heterosexual & homosexual promiscuity are discouraged because such behaviour generally results in strong sufferings

but skilful heterosexual & homosexual relationships are encouraged (for laypeople) because they promote human development

buddhism concerns itself with skilful relationship skills rather than sexual orientation

kind regards

Thank you, for the great post. You managed to explain it far better than me. That is one thing I like about Buddhism actions aren't considered sinful or even wrong, which is an arbitrary thing, but are rather considered in light of the question "will this action cause me or someone else suffering?"
