Please note that I did not only use the criteria of "natural" for my criticism of homosexuality. It is not only temporally unnatural but an act of pure desire. It is pure desire due to its lack of either 1.) Functional purpose or 2.) Spiritual meaning.

Pure desire is again, immoral, thus homosexuality is at its base an immoral act.

I will not deny that many heterosexual relationships are lacking in respect and beauty, that they are simply marriages of lust, and completely lacking in the transcendent element that marriage should signify. However, heterosexual sex in the context of marriage is an institution of traditional society, both for its procreative purpose and it's symbolic link to the creation mythos and the nature of divinity (God, the gods, the monad, the oversoul etc...). We thus cannot call heterosexual sex per se immoral, as there is a possibility for it to be committed as not simply pure desire -- a designation we cannot apply to homosexuality.

While I don't believe in silly things like conversion therapy, and I can acknowledge that there is a possibility for gay sex to be performed in a loving relationship, this relationship is one of pure desire. There's no way to square this circle from a traditional metaphysical perspective.

I don't actually wish you imprisonment -- that part was a bit of a shitpost. I don't even wish you to stop being gay -- I just don't believe in a justification for it beyond hedonism which I must reject.

Blogpost time?

I've been able to read more about mythology. Right now I'm going through a somewhat spiritual journey. I want to seek the divine, and so most of my reading is about that subject.

At some point, I'll need to explore finding a teacher. I think that it's important to find an actual living teacher, who is a realized master. That kinda worries me, because I don't know how to find or validate someone like that. I also know that I have an independent streak, and the rigidity of an orthodoxy might chafe. For now, I'm still exploring what speaks to me spiritually among the major world traditions.
