This has come up before on other threads but I thought it a good idea to start one of its own.
I've seen such diverse views on this topic within CoS. I know of at least one person who went to a mission, openly gay, and was welcome.
I asked an E/O about this once and I was told any gay within Scn would "have to knock it off". When I asked why, I was told that "the second dynamic would crash if we were all like that." I asked if hetero couples in Scn were hauled into Ethics if they didn't plan to have kids. I was told no. When I asked why not, I got a shrug. (I'm used to those when I ask questions in COS
)
I was talking to an OT5 recently who made a remark about "goddamn fags", which surprised me a little.
Anyway, I'd like to know if anyone here (apart from PMD) has an issue with gays/lesbians and if so, why.
Also, I'd like to know if anyone thinks being gay is a barrier to case gain (unless, like Mick, you don't think there is any such thing
).
I can understand it being a big missed withhold in the 50s, but that hardly applies now.
Cheers
