In the section on immortality in star signs Linda talks about un natural sex acts and is always refering to soul mates as male and female, I'm wondering if she thought homosexuality wasn 't part of the plan to love and happiness?. Also I would like to know what you think?. I want to hear what people think and or have experienced about same sex soul mates. Please speak honestly rather than PC ,I'd really like to hear peoples genuine opinions.
Sorry for waffling, Love Jason.

I have no clue what Linda thought abt homosexuality. I think hetro-sex is appreciated in the world becuase it leads to kids which in turn lead to the birth of a new generation where as homo-sex results in two people being happy together without producing a new generation which wld be a mix of the two individuals

god has created every being in the world with a purpose and humans have decided the rules to go by it can be right and it can be wrong according to the perception of each individual becuase no one knows what GOD wants.
That reminds me "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" same goes for sexuality it just depends how u look at it.

I don't think Linda meant homosexuality when she referred to unnatural sex acts. Linda speaks briefly but positively about same sex Love (Love being the operative word) in the last chapter of Gooberz.

Randall is right...when Linda meant unwanted sex acts, she was talking about spinsters, orgies, pornagraphy, three-way...you know what I mean...those kinds of acts

Actually in Love Signs, Linda, adds three chapters for each of the signs put together. I always thought, the first chapter, was a wink wink to same-sex lovers.

Linda also wrote her books during the 80's and that was the time of the AIDS epidemic. Linda mentioned in Star Signs about a man who had AIDS and she wept for him, no matter what his sexual preference was.

However, since Linda was born in 1925, gay people were always in the closet. So if she really was intentionally leaving them out, I don't think we should blame her, becuase it was very mainstream to do that. I guess that pleasing the mass of people was a whole lot easier for her to do.

I'm completely, 100% sure, that you can have a Soul Mate or Twin Self that is of your same sex if you happen to be gay...absoulatly. There is nothing unatural about it...true as can be.

Many companions go through lives together as parents, siblings, friends, enemies, and same-sex lovers... It's really just a soul choice!

I garantee it happens all the time!

Also, publishers often butchered Linda's books.

Yea! I bet they went as far as to take anything that could have been taken as condoning homosexuality out of the book!

I too agree she may have been butchered at some points. Reading thru her self-proclaimed understudy's note on how she [I think her name's Crystal] put together Relationship Signs after Linda passsed.

How much of that book was really Linda?

What comes to mind though is that in nature, sex is not an issue, but a survival ingredient. Male and Female animals mate to reproduce. Love is seldom the reason. The male organ was made to be inserted into a female vagina. Not into any hole that suits the pleasure of the individual. The tongue is for speaking and eating, food that is. Not for placing it down on someones genitals. Where twin souls are concerned we should not even be having multiple partners in general. How is it that we should call ourselves a particular sex according to how we behave sexually, when in fact we only have one twin soul. Sexuality as I understand opens the door to be into a great number of people. Who thinks to be with only one person? When that is the goal of finding your twinself
