Session 31 - As a Gay Man, I think Ra's take on Homosexuality is idiotic

[Mahakali]

We are each unique, as Ra often stated. But I must disagree with the nnotion that sexual orientation is "just preferences". I knew I was gay by the time I was 8 years old. I hated the idea. I did not want to be gay. It was a huge catalyst for me to discover myself. Yes, I was gay. That was just the way it was. It was not a "preference" like preferring Snickers over Milky Way bars.

I just find it dangerous in our homophobic society to casually refer to homosexuality as a preference like prefering the color blue.

You seem to have zero empathy for the nature of most homosexual men, which is that they realize quite young that they are sexually different from other boys and that this can cause great anguish. Perhaps you are bi-sexual (as we define it, not as Ra defines it) so that learning over a long period that you prefer men was not more than a mere preference. I am sure that teenagers are not killing themselves over being gay simply because they realized over time with experience that they had a preference for the same sex. It was their sexual orientation. No buts, no caveats, no decisions to make.

Yeah, it was confusing and at times, painful. Not half as painful as some of the other stuff I went through, back then. But I do understand.

I'm pretty sure that I made the argument that your preferences aren't something you choose.

The reason why nobody kills themselves over preferring blue over yellow is because no one hates them for that preference. Some people do hate others for preferring butts and penises.

I can't choose my favorite color or my favorite type of music any more than I can choose my sexual orientation. The difference is how society reacts. That's all..

I'm liking the Seth Material, btw, and I usually hate New Age crap, because crap is usually exactly what it is. But Ra and Seth both contain a wealth of practical information.
