The need is to understand the the problem scientifically. Are there honosexuals in other species too? If so, under what conditions. Are there homosexuals amongst the monkeys and apes---our nearest realtives. Were there homosexulas amongst in the primitive commune set-up as well. Or is it the product of class division of society, dominationation by men, and deprivation and exploitation of the vast majority of people, and conditioning of women as well as men to suppression and idiocy through the use of force, exploitation, culture and religion. Or is the problem unique to the human beings? Is it a natural bestowing or is it a problem? Is it a fashion, and does it have anything to do with the fashion, and the psyche of being fashionable? If it is a problem, an abbration, is it right to pass it as a natural phenomenon? Or should a cure be invented for the disease just as a cure needs to be invented for every disease? Child abusers, are they connected with the phenomenon? Or is it that men are disgusted with women, and women with men, that finds its outlet in homosexuality--in other words is it the sheer social wretchedness in manifestation and fruition? Is Dalai Lama or anybody else qualified to give his dictum over the issue, or is it the job of the biologists and other experts to tackle the issue scientifically?
The natural function of sex is procreation. What natural function does homosexuality have, if any?
There are thousands of questions associated with the phenomenon---all seeking answer before we can come to the best conclusion about what ought to be done.
If some men would prefer to be women, and some women would rather like to be men, one course of action would be to have their sex-transplantation---and the society as a whole ought to bear the expenses for that. That would render their position natural.
I would like all the Marxists to contribute their views, so that a global course of action can be adopted.
