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

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.
