According to Hinduism, Atma changes different bodies from time to time
as per the 'karmas'. Even while leaving a physical body, Atma remains in a
meta-physical body (called सूक्ष्म
शरीर) composed of among other things -mind (मन) and tendencies /
inclinations (संस्कार
is the word for it in Hindi) acquired from past births.
It goes to a new body according to 'karmas' but takes with it this
meta-physical body and consequently the mind and the inclinations.
If it is so... then I see no reason why few so called religious pundits
can't digest the fact that a man can well be in love with another man! Body
acquired has nothing to do with the tendencies / attachments acquired from past
innumerable births (both as male and as a female).
Due this this reason (among many others), no discrimination is found in
Hinduism based upon sexuality of a person. What has important for liberation of
a soul (be it in a male or female body... as a gay or heterosexual person) is -
detachment from world and attachment to Almighty. Only difference is that a
homosexual person has attachment in a person of same sex (among other worldly
attachments) and a heterosexual person has attachment in a person of another
sex!
