Comment on Jaides 'Gender as performance'

I totally agree with your perspective on Habeeba's point (not that we want to single her out....well we might do haha). It is true that all the major religions maintain serious objections towards homosexuality. I recently saw a television documentary on Islam and Christianity from the times of ancient Rome til the present day. The show mentioned that in ancient times especially in Rome homosexuality and was regarded the same way as multiculturalism (linking in with Jaides point) it was sexual, cultural colonial diversity. Homosexuality I found was strangely reasoned by a Hindu scholar Jay lakhani, he says that as people go through many reincarnations life after life traits latch on to the soul, for instance if a man has been a woman five or six reincarnations in a row in previous lives he (or she, then) would have had a keen interest in men that trait would carry on to the next life and as he is a man now he doesn't understand why he has deep feelings for other men and no interest towards women, he just feels that it is more natural for him deeper. As I am a Hindu myself and believe in reincarnation I found his knowledge very useful and choose to agree with him. But is a very strange and humorous angle to perceive.
