The Vedas refer to a "third sex," roughly defined as people for whom sex is not procreative, either through impotence or a lack of desire for the opposite sex. The Hindu American Foundation, in its policy brief on Hindus and Homosexuality, notes that Hinduism does not provide a fundamental spiritual reason to reject or ostracize LGBTQ individuals, and that, “Given their inherent spiritual equality, Hindus should not socially ostracize LGBT individuals, but should accept them as fellow sojourners on the path to moksha.”

LGBTQ EQUALITY ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION & GENDER IDENTITYīecause there is no central Hindu authority, attitudes to LGBTQ issues vary at different temples and ashrams. The latter are explicitly discouraged not for the common man but for brahmanas and priests. While Hindu sacred texts do not specifically use those terms (heterosexual and homosexual), they do distinguish between procreative sexual acts (within marriage) and non-procreative sexual acts such as oral, etc. Hindu sacred texts, however, do not distinguish between heterosexual and homosexual acts. That process includes a release from sensual experiences, including sexuality. Unlike Judaism, Christianity and Islam, which focus on the actions of a single lifetime, Hindu belief centers on a continuous process of birth and rebirth that ultimately releases the true self from the limitations of body and the ego – a freeing of the spirit called moksha. In Hindu belief, deities can take many forms, but all combine in the universal spirit of Brahman.
