i am kenneths149 a gay catholic retired teacher, who suffers the self cruelity of self judgment and pain increased by the judgment of certain society, social values and family disapproval. i am celibate and will be so for this life as i am unable to deal with any intimate relationship. any judgmnent on the issue is useless and to no avail. it is of no importance the cause of this. it is of no value to a preconceived conception of any kind to understand the depth and meaning of loving another. read "rumi" the gresat arab writer who loved a young man as himself! sadly it is the abuse of this love that is the great danger and judgment of in our present culture. it is a homophobic culture. it fears variety, diversity ,the union of energy that is wholeness, integvrsation of energies. even ra in it's discourse avoids the concept of integration of energy both energies male and female.! is ra homophobic? it matters that love is labelled perjoretively by the majority. who sets the norm? even ra has a part to play! seemily impartial is not stand at all to further truth and light on homosexaulity.
