Answers to earlier questions suggest that pagans have no difficulty with a person's gender preference.
Is this a general attitude amongst pagans, or just applicable to those few who have spoken up?

Speaking personally I couldn't care either way who someone was attracted to, it's whether they love and give/get out of the relationship what they need. Gender doesn't really play a part.
And yes, I'm considered pagan.
However, it's not just a pagan belief. More and more people are coming to realize that a one-man/one-woman relationship isn't really the right one for them. We've advanced as a people far enough that individuals are able to choose for themselves and that God/Deity/Spirit loves us when we're being the best people we can be. And that includes sharing our lives.
Amost all of the pagans that I have met have this attitude. And a large majority prefer the 'traditional' arrangement. This is good too.

Most pagans do consider a persons sexuality preferance to be mostly natural. I myself am a pagan, and I know many others that are pagan as well. Non of the ones i have met ever had a problem with a persons gender preferance. Pagans by nature tend to be very in touch with the natural world and accepting of the things that come out of it, even a persons sexuality. A pagans view of a gender preferance can sometimes be described as a pagan accepting a persons balance of the masculine and feminine sides of nature, the balance tips to favor one side and pagans see and accept that. So in the end Pagans are very accepting of anothers gender preferance. O and please do pagans a favor by not refering/comparing them to a death cult.

As a psych significant and a pagan i can with somewhat of luck say Bull ****. Many pagan paths are regular around community, no count if on line or in actual existence. i recognize Heathens are. a pal of mine as quickly as reported that the only excuse a Heathen has for no longer training with different Heathens is that there are no with a one hundred mile radius. I return and forth basically approximately an hour to my gothi's for fellowship and that i do no longer techniques interior the least. it is totally properly worth it to me. to no longer point out this person needless to say has no theory-approximately what anti-social habit is. Anti-social character affliction is the technical call for a sociopath. I heavily doubt we are all sociopaths. i'm the norm of society. At this spectacular 2d i'm sitting at my approximately to be step-uncles lake abode after an afternoon of tubing and knee boarding on an identical time as my 3 young ones watch Blue's Clue's 0.5 asleep. Ipersistent an SUV and stay interior the agricultural suburbs of Dallas Texas. i'm in knit gouchoes and a tank ideal. the only think of that "says" i'm pagan in my necklace, a Mjolinir. My daughter is a cheerleader and a girl scout. heavily....provide me a injury.

Pagans, in general, seem to be a bit more tolerant of things outside of whitebread heterosexuality - as long as it's between consenting adults, most Pagans don't care.
That's not to say that we don't have our occasional homophobes - I can think of a couple of semi-prominant ones off the top of my head, but they seem to be less prevalent than in the rest of society.

I have absolutely no problem with accepting homosexuals or bisexuals. I accept them for what they are -- normal people. I have observed over the years that Pagans are more accepting, more understanding, more tolerant, more sympathetic than Christians.

A person's sexual preference is no ones business and should never be judged. Pagans don't have a problem with it and many pagans are gay and bi. I guess people just have to have something to rant on.

In my experience, it's a common attitude among Pagans in general. Probably because we don't have that "sex is sinful" thing going on, not to mention the high value generally placed on love and pleasure... oh, and no holy book telling us how to think and what to value/devalue.

Most pagans I have met are very accepting. In fact I can't think of one who isn't.

I've met a few who believe that "a man and a woman should be together because that's nature and balance and blah blah blah" but for the most part, they're pretty open about the whole thing.
