I see many comments here that homosexuality is a 'western' trend. IN FACT, it is the opposition to homosexuality that we see on this forum that is mimicking the west! The abrahamic religions have always had anti-homosexual laws but hinduism does not have ANY such thing in the scriptures. I will challenge ANYONE arguing that homosexuality is western to point out one vedic verse criticizing one's sexuality. One step further, the Kamasutra contains specific sections for gay couples! All this homophobia is a western import - Indian tradition has always been open to people's lifestyles.
