Ask Osho!

What should I do about being homosexual?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Drop guilt and stop hiding; truthful acceptance is the doorway to transformation. Embrace who you are, for in that relaxed awareness, true transcendence unfolds."

According to Osho, first drop guilt and stop hiding—truthful acceptance (tathata) is the doorway to transformation. It’s not your fault; repression helped create homosexuality. Whether homo-, hetero-, or bisexual, sex is just sex; ultimately one goes beyond it. Relax into who you are now, accept totally, and from that relaxed awareness real change or transcendence becomes possible.
Be honest and kind to yourself about being gay; don’t feel guilty or fight it—accepting yourself calmly is how you eventually grow beyond being driven by sex.
Why this matters practically
- Ends shame and anxiety from secrecy and repression.
- Builds inner peace and authenticity, improving relationships.
- Creates the right ground for awareness to naturally transcend fixation on sex.
