I have heard from more than 1 person stating that Homosexuals in their culture are considered Holy people because we know how it feels to be both sexes?? Is that true?

Yes, they were called "two-spirit people." Outsiders referred to them as "berdache." Feel free to Google it and research it more for yourself.
Sadly, this tradition of valuing people who transcend the boundaries of gender disappeared with the imposition of Christianity.

It depends on the Native group, but many do believe that. The Native groups that do accept homosexuality generally call them two-spirited.

There are a lot of Native American tribes.
However I do know that in many of the tribes gay people are considered holy people. Not necessarily because they are gay, but if a gay guy is also a shaman, his duality will help.

Usually no. There is more to the story and it often has tribal culture baggage that more says this person or that was.
In most native american spiritualism, the shamans were strange birds anyway. So if one here or there was gay, it was not the gayness that made him "holy", it was his spiritualism.

My Cherokee friend tells me that the 5 civilized nations considers gay as being a 3rd gender type thing. Do a search of that sort of stuff and you'd be amazed at what you'll find.

After watching those photos, it is obtrusive they are from an Indigenous Mexican community. in actuality, on the far maximum appropriate edge of the final %you published, you will discover a guy donning face paint and embellished with feathers.
