Many traditional cultures- especially ones with shamanic overtones- take this attitude toward homosexual or transgendered people. In ancient Egypt, however, what we today call "alternate" sexualities really didn't seem to have had any particular distinction from heterosexuality- but hermaphrodites were held to have special powers (as were dwarvish folk^_^), amulets were made in nude hermaphroditic forms, and some gods also were considered to be hermaphrodites.
Personally, I'm bisexual, but not very romantically inclined. I find both men and women attractive, but would rather admire from afar than take on the maintenance of any kind of personal relationship- I complicate my life quite enough on my own.^_^' So in other words, I'm an equal opportunity dater- but at the moment I'm equally disinterested.^_^
I haven't drawn any sort of association between my bisexuality and my spirituality, however. For me, my sexuality is purely an enjoyable part of my personal being. Once I accepted that, I was able to overcome a few gender-based hangups that I had and live my life more effectively. And that is what I think the gods intend for us, after all- simply to live our lives as who we are and as we were meant to be.^_~

WebenBanu Leith I am not saying that is HAS anything to do with ANYTHING. I am simply stating one tribes traditions, and asking other pagans about it. I don't think anyone feels that you're trying to force an issue here- we're all just chatting on our ideas on the subject. No worries.^_^ Leith Would anyone like to hear more about it? I'll tell, but only if people are interested. The second part is fun.
Then by all means, do tell.^_~
Thank you. It's just that, in another thread I made, somone went after me for no reason, so I was a bit defensive that night.
So, according to the tribe, many of these gatekeepers are gay. Well, thanks largely in part to the Catholic Church (no comment needed) homosexuals are largely shunned in this country (With the exception of some lovely places like Vermont and Mass.) So, by shunning those whos job it is to protect our spiritual gates, we have opened our boarders up to all manner of demonic, discorporate, and bad spirits/energy.
Not a bad theory. It goes farther twords explaining things than some of the more 'mainstream' ones. Such as how Darwinism is responsible for abortion and homosexuality. stare Yea, those people are an example to the world of the dangers of inbreading.
