Interesting thread. First off, background--I've been married to my current wife for 30 years and was married to a prior one for 19 so I guess that pretty much seals it that I'm heterosexual.
Homosexuality isn't something that is new. It seems to have been around about as long as humans have so it isn't any surprise that some of our oldest known writings have references to it.
There is no right and there is no wrong, therefore, if it wasn't alright for there to be an attraction between some same sex individuals to each other then it wouldn't exist to begin with. Everything exists because it is supposed to exist, same sex attraction isn't an exception to that rule.
Because of programming we have been made to think that there is something wrong with it. However, a relationship between two people of the same sex can be just as loving and fulfilling as a relationship between a couple composed of opposite sexes. On the other hand it can be just as rocky and rough.
What we should be seeing is not the people themselves but the kind of people they are. Are they loving and expressing that love? Are they caring and compassionate? Are they a harmonious expression of Creator?
When you get to that point it doesn't make any difference who they find joy in being with, does it? It also doesn't make any difference what their sexual preference is if you are doing as Ra said and looking to see other self as Creator.
So I ask you does it matter how lessons that a person has chosen to experience in this life manifests? Perhaps, it is simply that some of the lessons that a person desires to experience can be done easier and with greater intensity within a same sex relationship than in a opposite sex relationship.
As for ducking karmic interaction of raising children by being in a same sex relationship, hogwash! The number of same sex couples raising children today is growing faster than weeds. Why should making serious child raising mistakes be limited to opposite sex couples? I think that same sex couples should have equal opportunity to screw up raising kids.
