What makes someone become a gay? Is this the result of engaging in particular sexual behavior such as (frequent) casual sex, infidelity, etc? How can someone take rebirth as or become a gay/lesbian when s/he is not in the first place?
I think the question is unimportant because Buddhism does not provide an answer for this question &amp; because in Buddhism there is a path for laypeople that can be practised by both heterosexual &amp; homosexual people. I personally know gay people who are very spiritual, very moral, very faithful to their partners &amp; extremely compassionate. In short, there is no inherent correlation between casual sex, infidelity &amp; homosexuality.
