Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00654)

Dear Carlos,

I have decided to answer your message because there are things that  
should be available to the list, and anybody interested can read it  
and get informed.

You are treating this discussion between Jake and me as any  
discussion that we see constantly on Theos-talk. We are constantly  
bombarded with them, and quite frankly, they are trivial. This  
discussion is different. Jake's bottomline is that he doesn't approve  
of homosexuality. That in itself is not a problem as long as we don't  
hear or read his reasons for that prejudice. His reasons are  
offensive to me. I am gay and when I read his reasons I feel that he  
is dehumanizing me when he denies my right to function as a sexual  
being that I am. One's sexuality is at the very core of every human  
being and that should never be threatened or questioned in any way by  
anyone. Besides that, this is a Theosophical forum and its basis  
should be respect for the first object of the Theosophical Movement:  
Universal Brotherhood. Anybody that breaks that law should be  
stopped, regardless of who he or she is. Frankly, I am disappointed  
in the way this incident has been handled.

That's all,

Rodolfo Don
