Homosexuality: a sexual attraction to (or sexual relations with) persons of the same gender.
~~~~~
I received an email today from someone I only know through several emails between us over a few months. His question was a concern in not understanding or being able to accept homosexuality ... much less teaching children in school to accept it.
I asked for guidance in answering him.

Hi,
You don't have to accept anyone's way of life ... including homosexuality. You should try to be understanding and compassionate but you don't have to accept it.
Even walking away from something doesn't mean people accept it, it just means they aren't prepared to do otherwise. They may not be strong enough to challenge it much less change it. Many people may have jumped on the defensive bandwagon when they really didn't want to.They may have even been bullied into acceptance because it's "the thing to do." Their feelings may be misplaced due to guilt or any number of reasons.
I'll try to explain what I've learned over the years. I hope I can do it clearly and simply for you. I try not to condemn anyone's way of life but try to understand why it is, even if I feel it shouldn't be. I too draw a line when it comes to children and think they need better treatment. However there are no mysteries in the universe. Everything has a reason ... including your concerns regarding this subject of homosexuality.
See, it's like any flow of thought. For instance, let's just say that something happened, maybe a very, very, very long time ago, to one or two people and they went against a flow. They are condemned and cruelly punished. Maybe they are punished so harshly that God may say that karma needs to be returned. Certain things may have been out of their control, so others may be established (set up) to go against that flow in order to break a horrendous manipulation which was controlling the masses with violence. A battle ensues and more and more jump on the bandwagon.
Then the flow (homosexuality) becomes stronger, like a river that has had too much rain. The river than begins to eroded the shoreline (humanity) because it is picked up with the flow and doesn't know how to stop. By now, no one knows anymore how things were started but the flow is too strong and it starts becoming part of life.
Eons pass and many are trying to understand the situation; realizing it was created out of not understanding. The eroding (bullying) that started needs to be fixed. They decide teaching acceptance is a way to do it. It's only a band aide over the damage because they are only teaching acceptance and not understanding. Why is all this happening? They want us to believe that people are born this way and have no choice, however that is only part of the situation.
You see, teaching understanding may stop the flow and there are those that are angry and unacceptable to the flow being stopped in their self righteous behavior ... and they don't know why they feel this way ... they just know they have to stomp their foot because they still haven't realized they may have unwittingly been pulled into the flow and don't know why much less how to get out of it.
It's pretty much an addiction by this time. Like one may get when watching porn or taking drugs. Sure, it was just for curiosity at first, but then it became addictive. Someone may come along to help them off the addiction but the flow has grabbed them and won't let go. They become defensive and refuse to admit that anything has control of them.
Reasons start becoming excuses. They may say things like: I was molested as as child and found it exciting but I couldn't tell anyone because I learned later that would bring shame on me. So I continued onward with my behavior because I was told that sex is healthy and society is a prude.
That's what their molester wanted them to believe. They develop a love hate relationship within their mind. They have now programmed themselves to believe that they must be gay, or whatever, because of an earlier experience. They grow up and continue with their programming but now, as I said before, reasons have become excuses so they can continue their behavior instead of making a different choice. Some could be trapped in their excuses and don't want to be released from them due to fear ... fear of the unknown.
The other part of all this could be possession ... possessed by the unseen for punishment or sexual gratification. As you know, spirits can do this. Who's going to stop them? They get away with it because we are made to believe it's only in our minds. People have been discussing sexual dreams and attacks for eons. Nothing new there. So, understanding can not only open the gate to acceptance but also changing the flow or slowing it down. There are those (spirits) that have had their freedom to do as they wish for far too long and don't wish their addictive flow of possessing to stop either. They think their behavior is normal. They don't need someone to tell them they are out of line. They start using their reasons as excuses.
I know this is a fact due to the people who write me about their experiences.
So you see, this has been going on for eons and the flow gets stronger and stronger because of bullying on both sides of the fence now. The ... I'll show you ... or the ... don't tell me what to do. To me, this is the attitude of a hurt child not a mature adult.
I agree that children are still being forced to be the property of adults and their addictions ... it's not only sad but disgusting. We live in an age of enlightenment but it feels we are regressing mentally more then progressing. Maybe it's a reason we are developing so many mental diseases. Just another way to keep us shut down from knowing the truth ... whatever that truth may be.
To continue, when any flow appears out of control, we do what we can to see if something needs changing. Maybe a decision is made to make a change and, hopefully, the change is made with love and truth. Teaching in this manner, is no different then teaching someone how they built something that is not functioning properly. Sure you can beat them into submission but that's only going to cause resentment. You want to stop the resentment. The only way to do that is, as we are being preached at today, with love and truth. Having someone face the truth within them - completely - and learning to love oneself is a beginning.
Now, this doesn't offer a change in choices but an understanding of one's path. They may still choose to stay on their path as you do yours. However, in you understanding their path, you will understand your path more. You will understand why that flow was necessary and you will understand how to change it, if you still wish to.
If your common sense senses a destructive path ahead, and you present your hypothesis to the public, they may listen or counteract with their own. Just as scientists do every day. Your hypothesis has to add up for people to listen.
Now, after explaining all this as quickly and as simply as possible, your feelings, if you still feel the same way, may be telling you that you have a mission to stop a flow that you feel is destructive. You may feel children need a better understanding of what they are to know. In order to do that, you have to become as educated as you can. You cannot change the force of any strong flowing river without the proper tools to do so.
Also, don't forget, we can have generalizations but when it comes to people each soul stands on its own. Never assume one person's situation is the same as another.
As my guide once told me, whatever we do in life do it legally and by employing the Golden Rule. People tend to lose patience and don't always follow that advice.
If you feel strongly that people shouldn't be gay, then you have to find their root cause and help them mend it ... if they want. For you see, they may not know about any universal, self-serving, addictive flow that could be controlling them. They just think they're going with the flow of what feels right. I'm reminded, just now, about the flow of tattoos we have today as opposed to how it was in the past. This is another example of how a flow can become obsessive out of need or survival.
Another reason could be, they don't know they may have a male soul in a female body, or vice versa, and it was done out of punishment, or needing a change of pace in life and not understanding the consequences of that choice.
There's so many reasons why people do what they do. Understanding can keep people from hating and allowing more. However, God told me once: allowing doesn't mean putting up with.
Lastly, the flow in you should also be respected, especially if acting kindly toward another, no more or less than any flow in another who wants respect.
I hope this helped.

There are so many reasons why things happened to or for people but, as I said before, reasons shouldn't become excuses.
This was only a few examples on what can cause a flow and why. Any strong flow, I've also discovered, can create issues in any animal (etc) kingdoms. There's no "walls" when it comes to energy with thoughts/emotions, especially if done to deliberately confuse or make a point.
Understanding is only half the journey, however no one should be bullied into acceptance no more than bullying another for what they don't understand.
I always think of Maya Angelou quote: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better. ”
I know many choose not to and even that holds a reason behind it.
