Then why is heterosexuality spoken about so often by the Buddha? All of the suttas that mention sexuality (at least those that I've read) are quite heterosexually focused. To give a couple of examples:



There is no equivalent example given regarding homosexuals. Why this omission?



So why the attention payed to heterosexual conduct, yet none to homosexual conduct? Why speak of husband and wife and not of the equally legitimate expression of love between same-sex couples?

I can think of various possible reasons why there appears to be such omissions and as it is not possible to know for sure, I see that the fact that there appears to be such an omission is not what is important.

Ajahn Brahm offers a thought about this in the video Aloka - D gave us the link to. He suggests that the intention of Buddhist teachers, writings, books etc. is to direct us on how to think about issues not what to actually think.
