Re: Gay Pakistanis
here's what I don't get:
No one really knows why homosexuality exists. Some claim it's a mental disorder; while others claim they were born that way...some psychologists say that it's because of a gender preference that is formed when one is too young to remember the event that caused them to have that preference.
So because of any such reason a person is homosexual- are they then sinning for being in that state; or would they sin only if they acted on their desire?
after all, if a person is irrevocably in a state where they cannot be attracted to a woman; are they sinning for just having those desires? Don't we think of things on a daily basis that would be 'haram' if actually acted upon those thoughts?
and then, if the sin is only in the act; then I disagree with the belief and fear that this is an epidemic that is 'spreading.' What is spreading is not the state of homosexuality; but the frequency upon which people act on these desires.
just my two cents
