>gay lifestyle, relationships
Have nothing personal against gay people
But intuitively sense that there is something not present in a gay relationship that is potentially present in a straight relationship
Gives me a sad feeling
Am quite tolerant and have gay friends
But also the instinctive sense that it's not a healthy lifestyle
Get the feeling that there is something fundamental about homosexuality that is still not understood
Cannot be understand until we clear away all the taboos, avoidances, fears around it
What comes to me right now
is that each human being has a different destiny, in which sexuality may play a small or large role
Being gay (or have other forms of sexual confusion) may for some people be a signal
that they would be happier pursing a life in which sexuality is not the main focus
This idea is taboo however
People think sex (and i don't mean self-gratification but sexually-based relationships) is essential to mental health.
But Temple Grandin realized long ago that her "best life" was a life of abstinence (however she interprets that). Not for religious reasons, but for psychological ones. This is unusual–but then, she is an unusual thinker.
There may many more like her who don't speak out bc of the taboo.
Just an idea I've thought about, not etched in stone.
