Homosexuality.

My last question folks,

I've notice a uniformity of opinion that argues in favour of LBGT rights. I must ask ... Does an official Jedi or TOTJO position exist on this matter? ... if so, specifically point out the article or teaching.

Thanks.

Jedi Believe:
In a society that does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or circumstances of birth such as gender, ethnicity and national origin.

I'm not sure an 'official Jedi or TOTJO position' exists on any matter :lol:

Though the Doctrine of this Temple does state that we believe:

In a society that does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or circumstances of birth such as gender, ethnicity and national origin.

Hope that helps

You beat me to it!

Another piece that was agreed upon across the community, from a document called "The Jedi Compass" -

Tolerance- You do not need to agree with someone's religion, their nationality, their career choice, their dress or anything else for that matter. Tolerance is not about agreement, it is about showing respect for the freedom of a persons choices and to respect their choices, until it reaches a point in which a reasonable person would consider the individual's actions as a/an (emotionally, spiritually, financially, and/or physically) abusive threat to you or another person.

You might not agree with people being homosexual, but it doesn't hurt anyone- and therefore if you don't agree with it, you must make the decision to let them be homosexual if that makes them happy (I've met Jedi that don't agree with homosexuality, but they have made the decision to not act on their disagreement with such).
