Why There are Gays and Lesbians
75Someone asked me why the heck there are gays and lesbians, bisexual or homosexual. Oh yeah, never thought about that. And never knew the answer at all until an old friend of mine emailed me something that somehow would answer that bizarre question.
It's called the Myth of Love... and it answers questions about:
Soulmates...
Gays and lesbians...
Same sex and opposite sex relationship...
and indestructible love..
After reading the origin of gays and lesbians -- The Myth of Love, it somehow made me understand that gay and same sex relationship is not really different from heterosexual relationship. Love has no gender, period.
Why are there gays and lesbians???
"It was said that before, in the origin of times,
there were three sexes; male, female, and rogene.
Original humans do not look like how we
humans look today. Humans before were said to be
twice of each person now,
with two heads, two pair of eyes, two pair of
lips, four hands, four
feet, two bodies, two hearts, and of course two
genitals.
Then, if the person has two V (girl's genitals) , that is a
female. If the person
has two P (men's genitals) , that is a male person. If the
person has both the two
different organs, a V and a P, then
that
person is an androgene.
They said that androgenes were the most
beautiful
people among all
because they have mostly the best features and
characteristics of both the
male and the female.
Because these people dream of being in heaven,
even if they already
have the heavens in their selves, they want to
experience it even for just
a little while. And so they climbed to Mount
Olympus. Zeus got furious
upon seeing the people going up the mountain. He
said, "How dare these
immortals climb our wondrous world? And to think
I'd let them experience
it! Especially now that they do not cherish of
what they have!!!" He
got so mad that he used his lightning bolts to
cut each person in half to
make them weaker enough so as not to continue on
climbing.
The God of Healers healed the wounds of the
people cut in half. And
from then on, everyone started to look out for
their pair the moment they
got down from the mountains.
This is why there is the term "soulmates". Their
bodies, in which their
souls rest, used to be one. Therefore soulmates.
They said that this is also the reason why there
are people who love
their same sex, the gays and lesbians. They are
the males and females
before. And this also explains why gays are
creative, because they are
both males before, they tend to concentrate on
what they lack. The same
thing for lesbians. Because they are both
females
before, they tend to be
strong as not to be underestimated.
Androgenes would be equal to male and female
lovers. That is why
nowadays these couples are the most acceptable,
stronger, and the most
beautiful among all partners, they have the
strength of both males and
females.
Lovers nowadays, whether gay, lesbian, or male
and female couples, are
indestructible because they are the pairs
before.
They are really meant to be.
This myth also explains why it is natural for
people to just realize
the value of the people they love only when they
are about to be gone or
are already gone. Because this happened even
before, and we become
weaker without our pair. We realize that we need
them, truly love them, and
that together, we are stronger.
This is also why we kiss. We always try to find
the lips wherein ours
will fit well.
This is also why we like to hold hands with the
one we love, to find
out if the spaces between their fingers are the
spaces where ours used to
lay.
And finally, this is why we always find someone
to love. We always want
to complete ourselves... Because we need the
strength of the one we
love in order to go on with the hardships of
life... we need to fill in a
missing space... and most of all, because we
used
to have two hearts.
We need to find the other one."

This was a shared mail so I've quoted the story, myth of love, above because it wasn't mine. It's so beautiful not to share so here it is. :)

Well done ! Oprah.com has an article touching on one woman's experience moving from a marriage to a man for many years onto a domestic partner relationship with a woman for over 5 years . It is her spin on it worth reading !
i could read that every day for the rest of my life :) fantastic!
not me, I am singular and sovereign. Not everyone needs another for strength. Some people just ain't nothin' for them in this world (not true, there's always vengeance!)
Wow, blaise, I found this thread through "wrongsent" web site. I was checking it out and wound back up in hubs again! What a really sensible thing this is. Why soes it make so much sense? Why is this so familiar to us? It really resonates with me. It's one of the best things I have ever read. And thanks to you! I have found a gem! Thanks!
Wonderful myth. Thanks for sharing it.
Love and peace
Tony
u ppl are just ridiclious that dont beleive in god and think they r perfect...that all doesnt make sense u idiots...go back 2 the holy REAL OLD books where no1 touched it and changed it and that will be only the holy quran!
I love this beautiful story behind the "three" sexes. How cool is this. I can so relate to what is in this hub. Well, how many people ever find that other half? I feel lucky with Cassy in my life. Fehl, you never cease to amaze me. I am annoyed that I have only just found this hub now. Gaaah. Sorry for the late finding of this.
Isn't it wonderful how ancient mythology has somehow come through with such an interesting story like this? It's nice to see something from antiquity resonate so well in the present. I love reading your hubs, especially over breakfast and coffee. It sets me up for my day. :) Take care, Fehl. XO
(smiling like crazy here now)
Your breakfast comment makes me laugh, Fehl. We take turns sometimes to make brekky. But I sheepishly admit that Cassy is the better cook by far. She'd make a great wife! LOL!!!!! There, I said it. Ooooh.
Oh dear, I am so moved by you saying that about your other half. My heart goes out to you, Fehl. I hope you get to give those kisses for real. Are you able to spend time together? Sorry for the questions, I can't help asking. If that was me there, I'd be on the phone and Skype-ing and emailing and testing every day without fail. I'd have shares in the darn phone company by now. That must be so tough on you. (Giving you a hug for good measure.)
It saddens me to think that it might make you feel bad hankering for your other half over such a distance. I hope and pray you both get together and link up. Distance is tough. It makes me feel lucky for Cassy and I, and how it turned out for us, except now I feel guilty thinking of you there.
I love the vintage and antiquity and anything to do with it, even poetry. I just love history.
Yes, you are our book for quite a few of these recent mornings, Fehl. Thanks for this. I am still re-reading your amazing book. What a triumph for you, my poetic friend. Take care. XO
The Love can"t be explained in words.
Love it. Simple and profound. "Love has no gender"
Amazing blog, I love it.
Don´t know how l´ve missed this up till today...... It is awesome.... ´Love has no gender´ will stay in my mind forever.
Absolutely beautiful hub. It's true that "love has no gender".
This is sick! How can you believe to this kind fiction, there is no facts, no evidence that proves it! people gather your minds!
This passage is abosoulutely senseless if you think about it. Before Zuess split the people into two, was these people reproducting? If so how, they had to be attacted to the same sex. In Today's world we're reproducting by meale and female. So if any case why would the "Myth God" has us sexing with opposites sexes if some dont find that opposing? THat'll make me queston what is the point.
