If so why do so many Jews, Christians and Muslims disparage us?
If not then who are the "born eunuchs" Jesus refers to in Matthew, and the gender or sexual identity given the "better name than sons or daughters" that God reassures in Isaiah?

i dont think a eunuch has anything to do with homosexual people. But i'm not sure.
Don't believe everything you read either.

No. Eunuchs just don't have balls. They were the most trusted by kings because they could be around their wives without the king worrying about them having sex together.
It was an honour to be a nutless wounder back then.

no they are not. eunuchs are men that have been castrated. even though they may have urges there is nothing they can do as they have nothing. homosexuals just like their own sex. eunuchs are men that like women but for some reason, usually a form of punishment, they have been casterated.

A eunuch has been castrated; a homosexual has not...the Bible is open to a lot of interpretation- read about Sodom and Gomora and it will counter what you have said.
Nothing wrong with being gay, ignore people who are mean to you- society is changing slowly but surely and your day will come...

Eunuchs are men who have had their penis' cut of. Usually they were men who were assigned to take care of the wives of powerful men and they wanted to make sure that there was no hanky panky behind the husbands back.
It was a sick practice as far as I'm concerned.

Eunuchs are castrated men. I have no idea why they disparage us. Maybe they are just jealous.

others seem to have missed your point, your saying that homosexuals won't impregnate a woman and are born gay, born eunuchs.
the history of gay persecution is really murky, but it comes down to the fact that religion deals in denial,
every religion denies their followers something, certain types of food, certain types of clothing, and the most common seems to be sex
The greatest example of this are the jainists, who will deny themselves everything, all food and sex, eventually starvinging to death in a temple, they have the ideal of sittign under a tree with a bowl and only eating what falls in your bowl.
if bans sex before marriage, then gay relations will rise, if your soldiers don't see women for a long time, gay relations will rise.
if you want people to stick with your religion, you must punish them for indulging, in this case, it means keeping them from having sex.
So religions frowned on homosexualls, mostly out of fear and misunderstanding, but partly with reason..
If a large enough percentage of the human race is gay, it threatens our long term survival, currently %10 of humanity is gay.
If it got lower or higher, it would impact on our birth rate.
this is why homosexuals were persecuted, not because God hates them, but because they deviate from the norm and induldge in a lifestyle that threatenes established authority and theoretically threatened the human race.
