I just catch up with this very interesting and educative topic.
When it comes to the "gay germ" hypothesis, it seems to me it is a little bit naive. You simply can't explain such a complex matter with so oversimplified terms. Maybe there is some bug involved, but I think is essential to include other factors such as genetic, carma, programming or "window of imprinting".
In the same way, I'm not so sure that there is some hard-wired aversion toward gay people specifically. At least I didn't felt it. It seems to me that people generally have an inborn aversion to everything that is foreign, everything that goes beyond their daily routine.
But I had noticed that heterosexual men have an aversion when they see another man with too many female traits. And I'm sure at that point they don't "imagine" two men kissing, (the study with the worms is pointless), no, they usually see a weak man, who is a "sissy" and "deserves" to be dominated. At least that is the core reaction of hetero men. The inclination toward dominance is an inborn and quite normal and necessary, for our environment, occurrence in heterosexual men. This can be seen in children, or teenagers, who do not have some "disgust" when they see feminine traits in other boys, but immediately feel "stronger" and feels that they have a right to dominate feminized boys. I think it is about domination and self confidence, not some super-deep, subconscious meaning of things.
On the other hand, there may be an inborn aversion to gay people after all. This would explain why I have such strong aversion toward heterosexual men since my childhood. When I was younger, I even had the impression that men were "damaged" in some way and that they literally lack an entire "sphere of emotions and thinking". And the more they are in the male "macho" expression - the more I feel disgusted. Literally. Maybe my aversion was just a consequence of the aversion toward me. I don't know, really, because I didn't felt any aversion toward me.
It kind of boggles my mind that these issues are hanging fire and gays aren't even concerned about them, apparently; or few of them, at any rate.
If you are born - or become - somehow "out of the majority natural order of things", it seems to me that it should drive you to figure out and understand why instead of trying to create what really amount to excuses or ridiculous justifications.
It took me 65 years to find out about the mutation I carry and all during those years, most of my life, I was searching for the reason and experimenting with anything and everything that came to hand that might give me some relief. And of course, a whole lot of that searching resulted in thousands of pages of material made available to all others, some of it very helpful to many people.
We aren't talking about exactly the same thing here, because, as it happens, I can deal with the mutation with certain dietary practices and application of selected therapies. It's not a perfect solution, but it works well enough to keep me up and running.
But if I was gay, like really hard core "no other way", I would sure want to know why and what effect it might have on my spiritual development because I damn sure wouldn't want to do such a life over again. And that means I'd be seriously picky about what ideas I adopted as explanations. Geeze, if you've been messed with from the get-go, wouldn't you think that the General Law and its operatives have a vested interest in keeping you in 3D?
You can't stop being gay, but you can sure work on trying to figure out why and learning everything you can get hold of about anything that might even remotely relate to it so that you can also figure out how to optimize spiritual growth.
That question "why" is something I've thought about a lot since I was a teenager. It was obvious to me that sexual aspect is not normal, but I always believed there is some spiritual aspect of it. It seems to me that homosexual preferences are influencing too many factors in someone's life to be considered as a mistake, but maybe I'm wrong. I just always tried to find at least some benefits, even when that inclination toward same sex is all wrong. I think that DCM does not "forget" anything, even when someone is "damaged" for something, on the other hand get something else.
From my experience, observing myself as well as other people, hetero and homosexuals, it seems to me there are significant opportunities for 'spiritual growth' after all. For example, struggle and suffering during growing up in a world which is totally different from one's feelings is great opportunity for better understanding of other people and oneself, which is necessary for navigating through the life. A wise gay man will strive to fit in his surroundings as much as possible without revealing his sexuality, and cannot afford too many mechanical reactions of oneself. In order to achieve this, it is necessary for one to maximize external consideration. Sometimes you even need to change your behavior completely if you want to achieve that. This is not possible without careful observation of yourself and other people, and understanding of patterns in which people behave. That sounds like a good opportunity for the Work to me.
Or another example. I think that gay people really have both feminine and masculine traits/emotions in their personality. This actually gives them the potential for better understanding of both men and women, or people in general. And it seems to me that hetero people have fewer opportunities for doing so. But for this potential to be harnessed, you must first understand yourself and understand which parts of you are male and which are female, or essentially to know your "machine". In practice, this means that a gay man could bring "male and female energies" closer to balance within himself, which is something that is needed in our current reality. Of course, I'm not really sure this is applicable to all gay people, I'm just talking from my experience.
It is interesting that all of these potential benefits are "taken away" by gay pride movement.
On the other hand, if there is some original design which includes homosexuality, it maybe has something to do with that potential for "balance" within one's being. More "balanced state" of being actually means more "creative inputs". Maybe being a gay hypothetically means potential for a "good receiver"? Maybe that was intention with original design, if any such existed. In that case, maybe that "state of being" was intended for a "role of shaman", like some "bridge" between polarized materiality and more balanced "spiritual world", and homosexuality was just material side effect of it. In that sense, I don't think that gay people back then, in ancient times, had sexual relations at all, they must have been in celibacy. Maybe such people are actually genetic or "normal" homosexuals, but I'm guessing that such "normal" homosexuality doesn't exist anymore.
Today, like almost all aspects of human beings, this too is corrupted and misused, and now serves a totally different purpose than intendid, a purpose that is purely materialistic without any spirituality, and the "gay pride movement" is just final materialization of these principles.
Of course, all of this is hypothetical, and it is very possible that has nothing to do with the truth.
