Well, Christianity expressly condemns male homosexuality. It's strangely silent on female homosexuality. I don't particularly want to go down the "Christ was gay" road with you. After all, the thread is about the West decoupling from China--principally, because it is ruled by a communist party, which should be on the ash heap of history by now. From an American perspective--and I'm not saying that's entirely monolithic--there's not a whole lot about homosexuality that is conservative. Reading Obergefell and a bunch of other shit, I understand (conceptually) that there are those who sympathise with the sort of romantic views of homosexuality. To me, law is a blunt instrument. As for "spiritualizing" things, I guess I can relate to that in the sense that some of my buddies and I studied art together in the late 1980s, and were fans of the late Sister Wendy Beckett, who expressed no desire to have sex or to have children.
My thread is more about this specifically:
Do you understand what I'm saying? China is not the future anymore. In some respects, it's toast. China isn't over, but it's future depends on small businesses now, and that is going to require a much less invasive state and an entrepreneurship that has its ears to the rails--to put it in the vernacular of the 19th Century American West. Spewing out shit tons of flat rolled steel is not going to work. I don't think the communists can evolve that quickly, because they necessarily have to let people think for themselves in order to avoid the crisis.
Let's discuss homosexuals and their spiritual beliefs elsewhere.

There's no crucifixion is Buddhism, but Buddhist monasticism has still been rife with homosexual's seeking to "spiritualise" their homosexuality, spiritualise their lack of interest in women.

I mean few people seem to have noticed the Irony that Plato's love was anything but Platonic. His love was no more platonic than Michael Jackson's, another guy selling his lack of interest in women as a form of spiritual innocence.
