Homosexuals are fine, queers aren’t

This opinion is sure to anger both moralistic heterosexuals and committed queers. But I think I can make a reasonable case for this view.

What is a homosexual? A homosexual is a normal human being who relates to the world as a normal human being but who derives sexual pleasure from rubbing same sex flesh.

A gay or queer is someone who not only derives sexual pleasure from rubbing same sex flesh, he or she has chosen a sexual identity as his or her primary identity. Sexual behavior is not a matter of public interest since it occurs in private…but one’s identity impacts on everyone else.

One cannot really say that there is such a thing as a ‘heterosexual’ identity because it is the default. But if someone develops a special ‘heterosexual’ identity then this opinion also applies.

What is wrong with a sexual identity, hetero or homo? It is a limited identity. What is wrong with a limited identity? First, it causes spiritual conflict because it is in conflict with our true nature…which is limitless. And second, it creates divisions in society. Society does not need more divisiveness. Our default identity is human. When I see myself first as a human being I immediately have a bridge to everyone. When I think I’m special and unique…when I identify with a role, some particular activities or beliefs…I separate myself from others and make communication difficult.
