Is homosexuality good? Is it bad? Is it neither? Is it a sin? Is it not a sin? Is it natural?
Just curious as to what everyone's outlook is.

I think it may be that all forms of sexual attraction are one of the factors that keep us bound to this material world.

Very Gnostic (and also Theravadin). Do you think that celibacy is an ideal to strive for?

Well I'm not much into striving. But I think it can be liberating.
I'm totally indifferent to who or what other people have sex with, unless that person is me. In any other situation, I not only don't care, but really am not interested in knowing. I neither need to know nor want to know about your sex life. Kay? Thanks.

It might help to clarify what is meant by homosexuality as well. Do you mean sexual acts, and if so, what kind? Sexual orientation?
I think that homosexuality is natural (actually I don't think that; it just is). But I also don't think that the occurrence of something in nature is much of a guide for human morality. On that latter point, I think that homosexuality and heterosexuality should be evaluated the same way.
Of course, being gay I am a little biased, or experienced, as the case may be.

Homosexuality is between that person and their God and no one else. I have no right to judge, or call them sinners (which I also am) or say they don't have the same rights as me.
Whether it is good or bad is irrelevant. I won't force my ideals on other people, And I shouldn't want too.
Everyone has their cross to bear.

I don't see why the word 'natural' should be part of the discussion. What does it mean for something to be or not to be natural? I also don't get why everyone thinks its important whether sexuality is a choice or not. People should just be treated fairly and equally. End of story.

I think it may be because recognition that it is natural brings to light how silly, stupid, "off", etc. considering it an abomination actually is.
Like being left-handed, green-eyed, or red-haired...it's "different", but not abominable or evil.

Joke, right?
I voted "Other".
I believe that it is natural, but that it isn't inherently good or bad. It just kinda is.
