Sexual orientation – Homosexuality


As this topic is popular and controversial, the response I got for the first article Sexual Orientation of Cross dressers 1 and 2 were immense and as expected most were negative comments telling that I am mad and spreading wrong information and so on. I really could understand this, as all controversial matters get only this kind of response initially. I know now if I come out to the open some might physically harm me. But I am not worried and I shall continue to write what I think is right and spread the word among the like- minded people.

I do agree that Sex with male and genetic females is natural and helps the most important cause of reproduction. And above all it is prevalent with almost all the living beings and is universally accepted. But it doesn't mean that the most progressive and innovative of the living being could change and bend the law a bit in a manner to suit their lifestyle.

This blog is not a technical or a medical blog and I am not going to go in detail about the developments and findings on this topic medically. The genetic engineering is growing at a real fast pace but as far I know there is not a single assured and assertive proof for how the sexual orientation is decoded. But every one agree that genetics might throw light on this subject in the days to come and I know like me and people like me are not going to wait for a scientific evidence to emerge to guide our lives.

There is another aspect that both scientific and social circles do accept without dispute is that this is more connected with psychology and influenced by social behaviors and circumstances.  Such instances of sex among same sex is termed generally as homosexuality and as this term is more popular we shall start using the term hereafter.

Homosexuality in Ancient Americas:

North America:

Before the period when European civilization entered in Americas there is proof that homosexuality was practiced by the then locals. Those having this same sexual orientation are identified in the early stage of life itself and they were called as two-spirit individuals in their own language as Shamans. Even though the individuals are identified by parents and elders of the family at an early stage of life, they were given the choice of selecting their lifestyle as they start maturing physically and psychologically.

These two-spirit individuals were brought up with education provided about the customs and behavioral patterns of this sect of people. These people were considered to possess special powers and were revered as extra-ordinary personalities. Their sexual relationship with the same sex was recognized and approved. This magnanimous attitude and considering man with sexual orientation with the same sex is missing today and think we are not talking about them being superior to people having regular sexual orientation.

South America:

Homosexuality and transgender behaviors were common among local people in South America even. People belonging to ancient civilizations of Latin America like Aztecs, Mayans, Zapotecs, Quechuas, Moches and Tupinamba had the culture that openly recognized homosexuality.  

The invaders from Spain found this practice disgusting as they witnessed homosexual relationship openly among these people. They introduced severe penalties for such behavior that included public execution by burning such individuals and supporters by burning them publicly and even letting their dogs bite them and tearing their fleshes to death.  The Spanish invaders considered homosexuality as barbarian and as civilized people we now can easily come to a conclusion that their behavior of executing them so brutally is barbaric.

The story does not end here. There are other ancient civilizations around the world practicing homosexuality and such practices were crushed and destroyed brutally by these so called modern conservationists who in my view are modern conservationists who destroyed ancient conservative culture. We shall discuss this topic in detail in my forthcoming posts.
