[Buddha-l] Buddhism and homosexuality/homophobia - request forinformation

[Franz Metcalf]

Sharon et al.,

Yes, Cabezon's edited collection that Jim Blumenthal mentioned covers a  
lot of ground in itself. A very good book. Here, also, are some links  
to pages I had my students read for a course on gender and sexuality in  
Buddhism, Islam, and Lakoka Religion. I assume some of these are  
broken, but some should still work.

Good luck and feel free to contact me offlist.

Franz
