Baha'i Stance on Homosexuals
According to the Baha'i Faith, marriage is only acceptable amongst members of the opposite sex, contingent on both partners getting consent from their parents. Only after they are married, can couple engage in sexual activities with each other. This means that persons whose sexual preference is the same gender as themselves cannot be sexually active. They would have to remain celibate.
However, I just noticed that the Baha'i Faith doesn't prohibit people from changing their genders. So if a man wants to be a woman, he can do so, get it certified on his birth certificate, and then can marry a man. In this manner could one's sexual preference be satisfied, if one isn't inherently heterosexual. This also works for people born with both male & female organs. Without surgery to become male or female, such a person would never be permitted to engage in any sexual activity.
I feel content with the Baha'i stance on homosexuals. It isn't wrong to desire people of the same sex-- only the execution of homosexual desire is wrong. It's not a problem to be celibate. I'm heterosexual, but never engage in sexual activity-- I know it's only appropriate when done with someone I'd be married to. Since I've never been married, I am celibate. It's no problem. There's plenty of more fun things in life besides sex, such as indulging in video games & anime.
