Comments on: Do eastern religions like Taoism, Shinto, and Hindu accept homosexuality? http://www.mysticbanana.com/do-eastern-religions-like-taoism-shinto-and-hindu-accept-homosexuality.html New Age Spirituality Magazine Thu, 19 Jan 2012 13:25:36 +0000 hourly 1 By: Apple http://www.mysticbanana.com/do-eastern-religions-like-taoism-shinto-and-hindu-accept-homosexuality.html/comment-page-1#comment-69088 Apple Sun, 18 Jul 2010 06:21:33 +0000 http://mysticbanana.com/do-eastern-religions-like-taoism-shinto-and-hindu-accept-homosexuality.html#comment-69088 No. It is strongly condemned. Inaddition,H it has never been considered a real thing in Hinduism -- we don't have too many references to it. Logically Hindus are conservative. We have strong family and traditional ties. There is no way a Hindu would believe being homosexual makes him a good Hindu. Hinduism is a religion that advocates control of the mind, discipline and purity. It is a free religion but sexuality is in itself counterproductive to reaching a strong spirit. So Hinduism is and will never be in favor of homosexuality; Indians in general will never be in favor of this practice. We tolerate it just as we tolerate all the other things. But we don't approve of it. Having said all this, I want to make it clear that we also don't condemn punishment to the gays. If he or she is a good person, what difference does it make to me how he/ she chooses to live? No. It is strongly condemned.
