Getting back to the topic, before I ever read the Law of One, I had already concluded that we've all been gay at various times. It made perfect sense to me that we would spend a number of lifetimes as one gender, then switch over to the other gender, and that transitional lifetime might likely be gay.
In light of that, it's ludicrous to judge homosexuality as any sort of sickness or 'sin' as the Christians say. That doesn't mean it might not be an imbalance. But aren't we all imbalanced in some way or another? One imbalance isn't any worse than any other. Anyone with extra weight on them, or any sort of illness, or any sort of emotional issues, has imbalances. We all have imbalances. There is nothing judgmental about that.
Maybe being gay might be considered an imbalance in the current lifetime, only because it presents certain catalyst, but it's perfectly normal and natural, when viewed as part of the big picture. If we've all been gay at various times, then it's obviously normal and natural to have those gay lifetimes as we transition from one gender to the next. This should also heighten our compassion, knowing that we've been gay too. Any sort of judgment goes out the window.
The Christians have a hard time with it because they don't believe in reincarnation. They just have an ancient book that contains a lot of bigotry, to rely on.
When I read the Law of One, and Ra's elucidation further confirmed what I had concluded. But it also raised the question: What is the optimal response to this particular catalyst? Since the entity is in the process of switching to the other gender, shouldn't that be taken into consideration?
It's easy for us heteros to philosophize about it, but unless we're actually in that position, our opinions mean nothing. The most important thing we can do is to promote gay rights and do what we can to end the bigotry. We must stand up for gay rights even if we're not gay.
