It might be remembered that any channeled material comes through a channel. No matter how "pure" the channel, the channel is still human with distortions. This distorts the material.
So in considering the Ra Material, it must follow that the human channel be considered. This is not to say I think Carla was prejudiced against gays. But being a human with distortions must play a part in what comes through, and not necessarily in a linear or even conscious manner.
Be authentic and think for yourself. This stance does create a sense of isolation. Humans are still mostly in herd mentality, where anyone different from the herd is perceived as a threat. The hardest part of dealing with that is trying to feel the oneness, at least for me.
I think when it comes to homosexuality, or any sexual identity apart from what our religions have mandated, it is helpful to think ahead to a future, more evolved society. I imagine in that society sexuality, along with much of physicality, to be of little importance beyond how an individual wants to express. If at that point there are still male and female body types, I am assuming procreation will be achieved in another less animal way, so there would be no concern whatsoever about who one is with sexually. One would be completely free and safe to unite with any other individual in any way because it is based on just the magnetic attraction and not on fears of the species dying out. Which suggests that in a future, evolved society without the need to procreate physically, the human body may indeed become androgynous.
So to identify as gay or heterosexual has little meaning to me. I try to drop these identities. I am female and I am attracted sexually to males. But that doesn't mean I don't ever have sexual feelings for women—they just aren't that strong. But the lines are blurred. And I think the lines are meaningless once you remove procreation and societal judgments (which are ever-changing according to human fears) from the equation.
