What is sexual intercourse ? Sexual intercourse is only meant to produce children. A Buddhist would not even have sex without any reason. Call me Maniac/Crazy anything but for me Sex = Reproduction...and nothing else. Sexual intercourse between 2 boys is useless and sinful.
Yes, the Buddha was against sexual misconduct, meaning harm, abuse, and exploitation. Not two consenting adults. If you think ‘rainbow people’ are the problem, it’s not Buddhism you’re practicing it’s just your prejudice in saffron cosplay.

The gleam of my eyes sank far down in their sockets like a gleam of water which has sunk far down in a deep well, my scalp shriveled and withered as a green bitter gourd shrivels and withers in the wind and sun, my belly skin adhered to my backbone so that if I touched my (2/3)

Because of eating so little my limbs became like the jointed segments of vine stems or bamboo stems, my backside became like a camel's hoof, the projections on my spine stood forth like corded beads, my ribs jutted out as gaunt as the crazy rafters of an old roofless barn (1/3)

nirvana, complete freedom from suffering, desire, and the cycle of birth and death. All teachings, practices, and even miraculous acts are meaningful only if they guide beings toward wisdom, compassion, and the realization of this highest goal. (2/3)
