Here is a passage that accepts the existence of homosexuals as simply a fact. An ignorant jiva might be born as a third gender or as a man or as a woman. It is significant that the punishment for homosexuality in Manu Smriti is bathing. This suggests that homosexuality is not a major sin. > When the Jiva, who is by nature self-luminous, forgets the Bhagavan, > the supreme Teacher and the Soul of all souls, and become identified > with the Gunas of Prakriti, then that Jiva, strengthening this > identification and attachment through the senses and their objects, > engages himself in various actions, and bears the ultimate fruits of > these actions by way of embodiments in wombs that are high or low. > Sometimes, on the strength of actions of a Sattvika nature, the Jiva > attains to worlds of light; sometimes by Rajasika actions, to the > world of men full of sorrows and difficulties; and sometimes by > Tamasika actions to low worlds of darkness and suffering. **The Jiva who > is blinded by ignorance, sometimes is embodied as a man, sometimes as > a woman, sometimes as a neuter.** Srimad Bhagavata Purana IV.29.26-29 Ramakrishna Math did not have any problem getting the well known homosexual intellectual Christopher Isherwood to write a biography of Sri Ramakrishna.
