Desire is the primal energy, andContinue reading “Love Attracts”
IT NEVER MEANT ABOMINATION
‘TOEVAH’, the word from the ancient old testament that gets translated as ‘abomination’ and that has been used to condemn (sometimes to death) gay men around the world for centuries, actually refers to the PAGAN PRACTICES of the many tribal peoples that surrounded the Hebrews 3000 years ago. This is explained very clearly on theContinue reading “IT NEVER MEANT ABOMINATION”

An Ancient Reference to Gays as Faerie Spirits

Gender

Ultimately IContinue reading “Shivratri”
