I have started a new thread because I fear that the very interesting discussion about Buddhism has rather hijacked Roger's original thread.

I try never to discuss anything about which I am ignorant, so I am not even going to try to relate to some of the very learned comments about Buddhism that have been posted. But I would like to ask a question that is surely pertinent to this forum:

What is the attitude of Buddhism to homosexuality? And, if anyone can give a reasonably authoritative answer, how do Hinduism and Confucianism relate to homosexuality - gays, lesbians, bi and trans?

I know this is going very far out, but what about animistic religions? How do they relate to GLBT?

An inquiring mind wants to know. Wink

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
