i don't see what all the controversy is about. homosexuality could be caused by peanuts for all we know. big deal. ra also attributed man's warring nature to opposable thumbs, which makes as much sense to me as attributing gaiety to overcrowding, and is equally unoffensive. from what i've seen, the point isn't who you love, but that you love. or, as ra would probably term it, that you learn to see the creation as your own self. so if you find that love with another man, who cares? jump in feet first! as for having sex with another man, that's an entirely different issue and it's too bad that our culture has steadfastly refused to come up with separate terms for these two very distinct classifications: feeling romantic love for those of the same gender, and engaging in sex acts with those of the same gender. we really should have two words, and until we do, our discussions will continue to be difficult, like this one.
