Did u read my question why r ppl born that
way ?
as i am a gay guy i want to know im not heterosexual like others
?

Nobody is born this way. I do not think that when you were 6 month old you were gay guy... but "every living entity is atmarama. Temporarily covered by the influence of maya, the living entity serves his senses, which are represented as kama-krodha-lobha-moha-mada-matsarya-lust, anger, greed, illusion, madness and envy. In the material condition, all living entities are engaged in sense gratification, but when they associate with devotees who follow the regulative principles, they become purified and awakened to their original consciousness. They then attempt to satisfy the senses of Lord Krsna and engage in His devotional service."

becos ppl become sexually active in their teens so 6months what do u know except sucking
u still didnt answer my question
im really sad
person
i just want to hy i was born this way not attracted to girls

You are not born this way, you are conditioned this way. You are not this mind or a body and not a conditioning. You are sad because you think that you are this body and try to enjoy this body, what ever way is not important, you will be sad.

CGYOOMH,

I remember reading, I believe in one of the spiritual warrior books by HH Bhakti Tirtha Swami, that gay people may have been the opposite gender in their previous life and that conditioning carried over to their present body. For example, if you are a gay male then maybe you had a female body in your previous life and that conditioning carried over to your current body. Im not sure if this is the official viewpoing of ISKCON, but this may at least help you understand why some people are gay. Hope this helps.

Lord Brahma then gave birth to the demons from his buttocks, and they were very fond of sex. Because they were too lustful, they approached him for copulation

but the purport is not referring to homosexuality its regarding sexuality tooo much lusty desires and even heterosexuality is not good except for conceiving children thats id having sex once or twice in their lifetime

Sex life is the background of material existence. Here also it is repeated that demons are very fond of sex life. The more one is free from the desires for sex, the more he is promoted to the level of the demigods; the more one is inclined to enjoy sex, the more he is degraded to the level of demoniac life.

Btw why is it impossible to live in ashram whrn one can control his desires ???
even matajis come to temple for worship if the straight ppl living in ashram can control their desire why not gays( i know i can control myself)

Cud u elaborate on this "Those foolish men of evil conduct who engage in all forms of intercourse, taking advantage of improper wombs, and forcing themselves upon other men (pumsaka), are born again without their organs as neuters." (Mahabharata 13.133.51-52, Pune critical edition (incomplete text), MBh, Anusasana Parva, part 2, section CXLV, p. 313 (Ganguly edition, complete text)) The word "viyoni", or improper womb, refers to the womb of another mans wife, the mother, sister, animal or child.

ppl r not following manusmriti its very harsh and very dated for kaliyuga it has no value whatsoever for this age
and i dont want to have sex with men but but im attracted to them hy is that happening

"then they artificially create another sex impulse in homosex. This is the psychology. So people are degraded so much. Especially in the..." i was never attracted to women sexaully so theres no possibility for me to enjoy sex with so many women and im not impotent . and homosexuality is not whay i want

Its very difficult to read you. Please separate quoted text from yours and use paragraphs.

> purport is not referring to homosexuality its regarding sexuality tooo much lusty desires and even heterosexuality is not good

Yes, too much sex in general is asuric but these asuras were male. See SB 3.20.26 p.

> except for conceiving children thats id having sex once or twice in their lifetime

Thatd be a really exceptional case where every copulation act would lead to fertilization.

> Btw why is it impossible to live in ashram whrn one can control his desires ?

Why it should be impossible? It depends on the ashram leader.

> ppl r not following manusmriti its very harsh and very dated for kaliyuga it has no value whatsoever for this age

Manusmriti isnt specifically meant fro Kaliyuga (Parasarasmrti is) but the principles are the same in all dharmasastras.

> and i dont want to have sex with men but but im attracted to them hy is that happening

Its a karmic reaction. SP: "When after enjoying so many women, they become impotent, then they artificially create another sex impulse in homosex. This is the psychology. So people are degraded so much."
I read somwhere that if heterosexual men indulge in homo sex they will be born homosexuals. Makes sense.

However, one shouldnt waste life with these things but serve Krsna.

but i didnt have too much sex to become a homosexual
:( i just hate the way i am
and homosexual are not impotent
may b prabhupad was refering to hijras
plz throe some light on this

It refers to previous life. There may be also other causes. Itd require a regression study of many homosexual men to find them out.
Homosexuals are potent only with men.

The main point is that we should try to transcend our material conditioning, be it hetero, homo or whatever. Thats the purpose of bhaktiyoga.

i agree abt transendece
but potence means the ability to beget children and doesnt mean anything does it
in others words potency is virility as fertility is to women

thanks for all ur answers :)
ive been waitin for ur answers
