1. There is no such thing as "gay" if used in the sense of "homosexual."

2. Philosophically, homosexual does not exist.

3. Homosexual if used in the sense, "I am a......" etc.,

Is invalid because it signifies we are what we do, which is not true. You are not what you do, you are a human being, a carbon-based life form, a human organism regardless of what you do. No more, no less. Homosexual is merely a glitch in the human language. It points to nothing in nature.
Compare the word to Santa Claus. For example, if someone kills another person, he is called a murderer. Yet statistics prove that practically all murders never murder again. So the term does not apply. The person is not a murder. He is not what he does. The term is invalid. It may apply in the courtroom, but we are not legal organisms. We are human organisms and legal terms do not apply outside the court-room.
Some kids (grown-ups, too) worry themselves into the nut house brooding on what they are. "I am gay," "I am homosexual," "I am stupid," "I am ugly," "I am a bustard," etc., etc. YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU DO. Proof of this lies in the fact that if a person brooded forever over being "stupid" he would never accomplish anything. Yet, some of the most successful people in the world started out as "stupid." Einstein is a prime example. He was even kicked out of school. Yet he overcame his "being stupid" and went on to become the most famous philosopher and mathematician in the world. Many, even dozens of so-called "homosexuals" went on to become rich and famous.
Liberache, Rock Hudson , Leonardo da Vinci , Richard Simmons. The list is endless. We cannot tell you how to ignore your label, only that you have to do it.

Q: Who knows about homosexuality?

A: No one. Almost no one knows anything about homosexuals. Especially not the homosexuals themselves. Homosexuals spend their entire lives just living. Being. Following their dreams. They almost never question themselves, their condition, their status in life. They, like heterosexuals, are too busy being whatever they are. They do not investigate themselves. Doctors know nothing about homosexuality because they know only what homosexuals tell them. They can quote statistics, etc., but ultimately they know nothing about homosexuals. Not even if they are homosexual themselves, which many of them are.

Q: Are there different kinds of homosexual?

A: Yes. There as many different kinds of homosexual as there are different kinds of people.

However, for a starter, there are two basic kinds of homosexual:
1. The delicate, fragile, effeminate type who is more girl than boy. The best description of this type is, "He is a girl with a penis." A recent story on one of the TV magazines reported a baby being born who was neither boy nor girl. The doctors performed surgery and made the baby a girl. He grew up as a girl, but never felt comfortable as a girl. Some twenty years later he had an operation that turned him (her?) into a man. And he lived happily as such. The doctors concluded that whether you are a boy or a girl depends on what is between your ears more that what is between your legs.
A National Geographic story about a young man traveling around the world on a motorcycle came upon a village in Mongolia celebrating their upcoming harvests (or whatever). People were singing and dancing. One girl came up to our hero and asked him to dance. He was embarrassed because the girl was a boy, but being sure of his own manhood, he danced with the boy anyway. The boy was totally effeminate. Question is: How did this boy learn how to be a girl since all the girls and women in the village (in the whole country?) were no more effeminate, feminine, than the men? In China, unisex is universal; it is almost impossible to distinguish the men from the women - not even by their dress. Yet this boy acted exactly like any gay boy anywhere in the rest of the world.
A group of monks live on an island off the coast of China and have some very rigid customs. One of which is no women are allowed. They take the first born of every couple getting married and rear the child from infancy. The church is very powerful in China. They can take anyone they choose, and often do. Many of the monks grew up on the island without ever having seen a woman.
Yet almost all of the men are feminine to the Nth degree? They act like women. How did they learn to act like women without any role models?
Nobody can answer that question but I have come up with a theory:
Almost all Asian men are effeminate (I am using the words feminine and effeminate interchangeably here for simplicity sake. There is a difference but it isn't important) and the monks, given a "free hand" so to speak, tended to lean toward the effeminate. What is slight in the general population is pronounced in the tightly controlled society of the monks.
During WWII reports came in about Japanese atrocities, total brutality, actually mean and vicious acts during the war. Yet it was reported that almost all Japanese generals carried a flower or blossom of some kind with them into every battle and held tea ceremonies all the time. Make no mistake about it, effeminate men can be brutal and vicious. But of course, so can women. (Lizzie Borden?) A story broke today (Aug. 27, 1998) about researchers finding women preferred "soft and tender men" over rough, macho men. Their examples were Leonardo De Caprio and the guy that plays James Bond. This ties in exactly with my findings that all men who are attracted to women actually want to be women. The only thing we can conclude here is that the human race tends to lean toward the feminine. No matter what we have between our legs, we want to be girls.
This concludes the description of the Type #1 homosexual, the most prevalent type. Nobody knows why babies are born with indistinguishable sexual characteristics. But it seems to be undeniable that some girls are born with a penis, and some boys are born with a vagina. Call it an imperfection in nature. Nature is not perfect. As the hippies used to say, "Shit happens."
The next type homosexual is the Type 2.

2. This type homosexual is impossible to detect by sight. Not even by actions. The person (men and women) do not look any differently, nor do they act differently. They are, from all observable evidence, totally normal. Only what they do in their bedroom distinguishes them. And if they never tell anyone, no one will ever know.

How many of these two types exist? God only knows, and He ain't talking. We can say this: if a homosexual can be defined by his sissiness, then all men are homosexual. The super-macho dudes are merely the sissies overcompensating. They resolved earlier in their lives that no one would ever find out their true nature, that they would act as rough and tough as need be to hide their feminine nature. This is called over reacting. Some are so rough, tough and macho they won't even marry. The don't want any sissy woman around. They prefer the company of men, because they can't stand sissiness. Military, athletics, Sports, are all full of these super-macho dudes that actually make good soldiers. Why? Because they like to show off to the other guys. So do the athletes. Ever notice how most professional athletes can't keep their hands off each others butts?
They like 'em. But point this out and they will probably break your jaw.
And we don't want to forget the prisoners. Old time convicts say that practically every man who enters prison, no matter his lifestyle on the street, immediately begins looking around for him a "boy." Boys are used as women, in prison. And, incidentally, the abusers on the street are abusers in prison, also. Some boys are treated unmercifully brutal in prison. Not only are they raped, gang raped, repeatedly, they are also enslaved. They become the virtual slave of the "wolves" in prison. These "wolves" have to be mean and tough to show their buddies they are macho.
Not gay. Not faggots, etc., etc. Make no mistake about it, they are homosexual.

Then there are the Christians. Christianity is a feminine religion.
"Turn the other Cheek." "Forgive your enemies," etc. Purely feminine.
One book was written trying to prove Christ was really a woman. I never read it, so I don't know.
Incidentally, all sissy men do not become homosexual. Most get married. In fact, most married men are a little bit lavender. This is nature because we all have both a male and a female in our background.
Your mother was a female, your father was a male. You are, by nature, half and half. You can observe the delicate, feminine demeanor of men enamored with the female of their choice. This is not always observable, but it is usually there. Of course there are exceptions There always is. But all men are half women. Live with it.
So, getting to the bottom line, what causes homosexuality?
Again, there is no absolute answer.

1. There is no such thing as a homosexual. This is merely a glitch in the language.
A word that points to nothing in nature. An abstract word that means nothing, like Santa Clause, beautiful, bad, wrong, sin, god, etc., etc.

2. Homosexual is created by organized religion. They have taken a meaningless word and vilified, denigrated it said it is bad, wicked, evil, sinful, abominable, etc., etc. So homosexual as we know it, is a creation of the church, just like witch. During the great witch of previous centuries, over 100,000 innocent women and children were murdered by the Church on the pretense the women and girls (some of whom were as young as ten years) were witches. In truth, there is no such thing as a witch. Just as there is no such thing as a homosexual, or child molester. Oh, yes, this is a language creation, too. Men have had sex with children since the beginning of time, 10,000.000 years, but just recently the Church declared it to be bad, sinful, wicked, evil, etc., and set about getting it on the books as the law of the land. Now it is illegal. And, as usual, when a sin becomes Law, the prisons are full of men, literally thousands of them, in every state, for doing something men have been doing since Time began. Oh, yes, the authorities cooperate with them fully. And why not? It lines their pockets. Every prisoner makes them richer. Or did you think all those prisoners lived in all those prisons for free? Surely you didn't think all those Guards, Wardens, Counselors, etc., worked for free? And you surely didn't think all the contractors who build those prisons worked for free? Imprisoning men for profit is one of the biggest businesses in the world. And the United States is the biggest.
So, is there a simple answer to the question: "What causes homosexuality?"
Yes. The same thing that causes the sun to shine.
Homosexuality is just another way of having sex, like masturbation.

Is there a simple answer to the question, "Why do some people prefer homosexual sex to straight sex?"
Remember the old TV commercial? "Try it, you'll like it!" They tried it, and they liked it. It's very easy to like sex of any kind.

Is homosexuality wrong?
No. Nothing is wrong. Another word that points to nothing in nature.
If you think that wrong is something that exists in nature, think of this:
Have you ever seen a wrong tree? Or a wrong mountain? Or a wrong river?
But isn't murder wrong. Surely taking someone's life is wrong?
Not really. It is only illegal. Not wrong. The police do it every day.
Governments do it every day. Christians murdered 100,000 women as witches.

Was that wrong?

No. Not wrong. Normal for the Church. Painful for the girls. But wrong?

No.

How can a word that has been in use for hundreds of years be invalid?
As soon as the human race developed a language, then invented abstract words, the whole world became screwed up. We live in a screwed up world.
Live with it.

What exactly is an abstract word?
Any word that does not point toward anything in nature.
An easy way to determine if a word is abstract is to determine if it has an opposite.
Any word that has an opposite points to something that does not exist in nature.
For example: what is the opposite of tree? Rock? Mountain? Water? Get the picture?
Any abstract word is invalid.
Exercise: Make a list of all the abstract words you can think of.

Why do I need all this philosophy stuff to understand my situation?
It all depends on whether you want to be in control of your life, or whether you want to be controlled by your life. For example, if you understand what a bifurcated universe is, then you are beginning to gain control over your life. And when someone starts talking to talking to you about various abstract subjects, religion for example, you can gain a distinct advantage over the person by knowing he is full of it. In other words, you control him, he will not control you. And when someone labels you with some deleterious name, it need not affect you. You can say, "That's just a meaningless word. It is not real, has no meaning, and therefore does not apply. I am unaffected." This is the beginning of sane thinking. You need not go through life as "one of the masses."

What exactly is a bifurcated universe?
We live in a world of words, and a world of not-words. The not-word world is real. The world of words is not real. It is in the mind only. For example, anything in nature is real. A tree is real. A rock is real. A cloud is real.
Anything you can perceive with any one of the five senses is real. The five senses are sight, smell, hear, touch and taste. If something cannot be perceived with one of these five senses, it is abstract, not real. For example, beauty is not real. You cannot go to the store and buy a pound of beauty. (I agree some women seem to think they can, but they are deluding themselves.) Beauty is something we imagine exists. It is merely subjective, which means it is a matter of opinion. So the woman or man, boy or girl, that you think is beautiful enough to die for, is beautiful only to you. The party next door might think that person is ugly. I have had men introduce me to their wives and later ask, "Isn't she beautiful?" And, to my self I reply, "Uggh." The gal is downright ugly, a real dog. Yet this man is willing to devote his entire life to this "beauty." And no doubt they will have ugly children, and he will think they are beautiful also. There must be a better gauge for getting married than beauty. The girl (or whatever) is beautiful only until you change your mind.
Get the picture?
Language split the universe into two parts, good and evil, beautiful and ugly, right and wrong, etc, etc. This is what is meant by bifurcated which = forked, or in two parts.

Can you give another example of how knowing abstract and "concrete" words can affect my life?
Surely. Suppose you meet someone who who tells you that you are a sinful person and that you are going to Hell when you die. What would be your reaction?
Chances are, that if you are young and gullible you will believe the person. This is especially true if the person is a celebrity or important.
So you plug into this madness and honestly accept that you are sinful, therefore you are a sinner. You also accept that you are going to Hell, so you accept that you are doomed. No point in living a good life because "I am doomed anyway. I'm going to Hell, so why should I be good?"
The chances are very good that your life is ruined. You might even go out and kill someone. You might become addicted to dope. Why not? Your life is ruined, and everything is hopeless anyway.
On the other hand, you are a person skilled in the art of recognizing abstract words and immediately analyze the words the person killed you with. (Oh, yes! Words can kill.)
What are they two key words in the statement the person used against you? Sin and Hell , right? Do these words have an opposite? Absolutely. The opposite of sin is good, morality, virtue, or any one of dozens of other words that signify good and bad. The other key word is Hell. Is there an opposite of Hell? Absolutely. Heaven. So we know that sin and Hell are abstract words, therefore point to nothing in nature. And are therefore invalid. There is no sin, no Hell. And you are safe. You are not sinning, and you are not going to Hell. Now you can live a normal life (whatever that is.)

How do you know Heaven and Hell, Sin, etc., don't exist?

These are abstract words. They didn't exist until language was invented.
When language was invented, these words came into existence. They were brought into existence by some sharpie that wanted to control the human race. Either that or by some dummy that didn't know what he was doing.
Point is, when we were swinging from the trees, there was no Hell, Heaven, sin, good, bad, pretty, ugly, etc., etc. There still isn't for the monkeys and other critters that still swing in the trees, they have no language, therefore, they have no Sin. We don't have it either. We just imagine we do. Does it make sense that sin, Heaven and Hell etc., were created when we learned to talk? Not at all. God said, "Jimminy! These stupid humans have learned how to talk; guess I'd better create a Heaven and Hell for them..." Yeah right.

What is the bifurcated universe?
It's the world we think we live in. It's the world of imagination. It's all in our minds It doesn't exist. The real world, that is, the world we can see and touch, the real universe, i.e., the one on which we skin our knees when we fall down, It's the world that burns our skin when we stay outside in the sunlight too long, the one that gets us wet when we walk outside during a storm. It's the one we touch when we make love. It's the concrete world that in no way is a part of our imagination. You have the concrete world and the abstract world. The abstract world is, to put it bluntly, is pure bull shit. Most of the stuff in the abstract is world is just that, BS-stuff we believe... That's the reason scientists say 98% of everything we believe is false.
Put another way, the wise men say that all the beliefs in the world aren't worth a hatful of spit. Or as the cowboy says, not worth two dead flies. Which leads us to this: If you never learn anything else, remember this: just because you believe something doesn't mean it's true. You believe it because it's what you want to believe. Search everything in your mind and ask yourself, is this a fact, or just something I believe? Do I believe it because it's a fact, or because it's something I want to believe?
There is a big difference between a belief and knowledge. Scientists deal in knowledge.

Religious adherents deal in beliefs. And the religious adherent want you to believe that all the knowledge possessed by scientists, is just something they believe. Get into a discussion with a religious person and present him with a fact, and he will say, Well, you can believe anyting you want to. You believe what you believe, and I will believe what I want to Believe. It's your opinion against mine. To a religious person, the entire world is made up of beliefs and opinions. There is no knowledge. There are no facts. Just opinions. (And, of course, all of their opinions come directly from God.) A good exercise in this area might be for you to look up the dictionary definition of believe. Most people do not know the definition.
