I have heard people ask this same question in relation to flies, wasps, snakes and a variety of things that they have some trouble understanding! Its sort of logical I suppose. Our race hopefully has to more than just survive. Each of us has personal challenges in our life. Learning how to meet them creates an energy which hopefully contributes not only to our survival but to our evolution as persons. It certainly has a very powerful impact on an individual when they come to terms with their own personal challenges and transcend them. The individual becomes empowered and an impetus to move forward is created! They say each one of us affects the whole so self transformation I would suggest is a major contributing factor to the spiritual progress of the whole human race.
Homosexuals have a lot to face during their lives. As with flies and snakes and things , a lot of people do not understand them and in certain instances that is putting it mildly. There are people who develop phobias to homosexuals!! For me personally the journey has been quite "normal" so far , starting with the quetion "Why me?". That question took me on a fascinating road to discovery not just about me and my sexuality but a lot of things: human nature, the human spirit, the nature of the soul, humility, acceptance, forgiveness, pain and its effects on myself and others, oppression and its results, the nature of internalised oppression, compassion. Homosexuality has given me insights into areas like these and many more. These insights once gained by one of us -and I do not presume heterosexuals do not make the same discoveries!!!- have a beneficial impact on the rest of us. We all are asked to contribute simply by being here on this planet but if an individual is challenged eg in his sexual identity it can be a powerful impetus towards discovering through this a unique way in which TO contribute. I think homosexuals can help make a difference just as we all can and each according to her own nature.Sorry I am in a bit of a rush so not giving your question justice, but thanks for asking it. Its a good one!
I value the theory that we each choose our life prior to arrival. We each have lessons to learn for the benefit of our individual souls and for the whole agreed upon before birth and this includes for me questions of sex, religion and freedom et al. Personally I think its quite a contribution from my soul to the race I have incarnated into this time around! Does that give a hint of a clue as to our value?
As to normal. PLEASE!! Thats not a choice I made!!
