it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.Anguttara-Nikaya: Ekanipata: Ekadhammapali: PañhamavaggaWBB TBHT HBM AC My Page

Buddhism seems to have jumped on the bandwagon where being heterosexual is considered an aberration.

With a lady in St. Louie,
When there sudden comes a knockin' at the door.
And that knocker, he says, "Honey,
Roll this rocker out some money,
Or your daddy shoots a baddie to the floor." ♫♫ --The Venerable Mr. Miggle

All the Buddhas are smiling and don't appear to be offended at all.

I'm reminded of the story of three monks who approach a stream. A lady needs help getting across and one monk helps her across. Outraged, the other two monks carry their disgust all the way to their destination, where the helpful monk proclaims "I left her on the other shore, while you are still carrying her."
Sotthī hontu nirantaraṃ - May you forever be well.
