Is there any religion that does not oppose homosexuality?

[Saponification]

A teacher at the Buddhist centre I go to has talked about the Dalai Lama with me. We've come to an agreement that the Dalai Lama, as much as we respect him, says... a lot of things. He has some really conservative views one day and the next he's preaching equality for everyone, no matter what they're into.

It sounds kind of... bad, but take what he says with a grain of salt. Don't take the words of any Buddhist teachers and leaders as gospel until you really know you can trust them, the dharma says that.

The thing is that it is not so important whether a certain religion will accept you as homosexual but what that religion will teach you.

# The Vedic culture teach everyone - aham brahmasmi - I am a spirit soul.
# Material designation of the body are misleading in spiritual life
# E.g. to say "I am a man", "I am a woman", "I am a professor", "I am American", or to ascribe to ourselves any other material designation of this material world all belongs to the bodily concept of life.
# to say "I am homosexual is also one of the illusions of bodily identification.

# when one is aware that "I am an eternal spirit soul" that makes one think
# "what is the meaning that I do all the things for my body?"
# "what is the meaning of my sexual, homosexual, hedonistic or whatever activities for my body?"
# "I don't do anything for my soul"
# therefor, by being aware that "I am a spirit soul" ones passion become greatly decreased
# at that time with a cool mind one can more concentrate on spiritual thoughts and activities
# actually it is even said that real spiritual life begins from the point when one fully understand "I am not this body, I am a spirit soul".

# So, according to spiritual consideration one is not a homosexual.

# but to come to this understanding there is a need of a practical process that can purify the material consciousness of bodily awareness and
# elevate that consciousness to higher spiritual consciousness where one is fully realized as a spirit soul
# Because I am a Hare Krishna devotee (before I was Christian) I would recommend to you the chanting (or meditation) of the Holy name of God
# we chant Hare Krishna Hare Krishna / Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama / Rama Rama Hare Hare
# these spiritual names of God elevate our consciousness to the spiritual platform
# If you don't like to chant Hare Krishna, I would still encourage you to chant any other name of God that you like
# all the different names of God that refer to the Supreme Personality of Godhead who is one without a second, are spiritually very potent and can help one to attain the ultimate desired result, self-realisation

Upaya is generally the reason why you see different things from His Holiness.
