Can anyone give me information on how Hinduism percieves homosexuality?
I was in India last year and was approached by a boy who said that
homosexuality was tolerated but read articles in the Times of India that
said it was illegal. I am particularly interested in the religious
aspect of it, and whether the scriptures say anything about it. It seems
like a lot of temples had themes of homosexuality portrayed in their
carvings, and I wonder how values have changed in the traditions of India.
Any relevant information would be greatly appreciated. Namaste
