I still don't understand how HHDL can legitimate both recognizing that he doesn't have the authority to unilaterally interpret for all buddhists, and yet pronounce that it is even generally accepted that homosexuality is seen as sexual misconduct from a "buddhist" point of view.

I would be much less concerned if he only spoke for Geluk TB buddhists when he spoke of these kinds of things. That is his charge, anyway. He might be expanding his brief a little bit. But then again, this NKT thing has shown that he's not a stranger to that kind of behavior.

I do not personally have anything against him. I only criticize in respect to his position as an official.
