Born Gay? The Omnicyclian perspective
Few questions ignite as much heat — and as much pain — as the question of sexual orientation. Were you born this way? Is it a choice? Is it allowed? Is it sinful? Is it African? Is it human?
In much of the world, LGBT+ people still live at the intersection of fear, misunderstanding, and rejection. In mainstream religions, they are often tolerated at best, condemned at worst. In large parts of continental Africa and within sections of the African diaspora, homosexuality is frequently framed as un-African, immoral, or even demonic — despite the deep irony that many of these judgments are rooted in colonial-era moral imports rather than indigenous traditions.
So where does Omnicyclion stand?
Not on a battlefield — but at the root.
The Omnicyclian Starting Point: ALL IS ONE
Omnicyclion begins with a simple, radical truth:
ALL IS ONE.
Not metaphorically. Not poetically. Literally.
Reality is an omnicyclic, ever-renewing One — appearing as diversity while never ceasing to be unity. Energy, information, consciousness: one substance, one source, one Self. Every human being is a unique expression of that same Whole.
From this perspective, the question is no longer “Is this identity allowed?”
The real question becomes:
Can the One be wrong about how it expresses itself?
If the answer is no — and Omnicyclion insists it is — then sexual orientation cannot be an error, a corruption, or a deviation from divine intent. It is an expression of the One, unfolding through biology, psychology, culture, and mystery.
Born Gay? Chosen? Or Misframed?
Omnicyclion steps away from the polarised debate between “born this way” and “chosen lifestyle.” Both camps, though often well-intentioned, are still trapped in a fragmented worldview.
From an omnicyclic perspective:
- Nothing arises randomly
- Nothing arises in isolation
- Nothing arises without purpose — even if that purpose is not immediately obvious
Sexual orientation emerges from a complex convergence of genetics, prenatal development, hormonal influences, early consciousness formation, and lived experience — all of which are expressions of the One’s self-exploration.
Whether something is chosen or innate becomes secondary.
What matters is this:
Is the expression rooted in love, authenticity, and non-harm?
If yes, Omnicyclion recognises it as aligned with the ethic of the One.
The Omnicyclian Ethic: WE > ME
At the heart of Omnicyclion lies a moral compass that is both ancient and revolutionary:
WE > ME
Ethics are not dictated by fear, control, or rigid doctrine, but by the degree to which an action increases love, coherence, dignity, and collective flourishing.
Seen through this lens:
- Loving, consensual same-sex relationships do not fracture society
- Suppressing, shaming, or criminalising people does
Violence against LGBT+ people — physical, psychological, spiritual — is therefore not a defence of morality, tradition, or God. It is a violation of the One harming itself through misunderstanding.
Africa, Spiritual Memory, and the Colonial Shadow
Omnicyclion speaks directly to Africa — not as a continent frozen in time, but as a living spiritual memory.
Pre-colonial African societies were not monolithic. Across regions, there existed diverse understandings of gender, intimacy, and social roles. While not all were permissive by modern standards, many were fluid, pragmatic, and grounded in communal harmony rather than moral panic.
The rigid condemnation of homosexuality across much of Africa today owes far more to imported Victorian morality, missionary theology, and colonial law codes than to indigenous cosmologies.
Omnicyclion does not ask Africa to “become Western.”
It asks Africa to remember itself — beyond fear, beyond imposed binaries, beyond the lie that love is foreign.
Purification Is Not Erasure
One of the most misunderstood ideas in spiritual traditions is purification. Too often, it is weaponised into self-hatred: purify yourself by erasing who you are.
Omnicyclion rejects this entirely.
Purification is not about suppressing identity.
It is about releasing fear, shame, cruelty, and ego-driven domination.
A gay person does not need to be “fixed.”
A society that cannot love its own children does.
The Omnicyclian Position, Plainly Stated
- Being gay is not a sin against the One
- Loving authentically is not a betrayal of Africa
- Diversity of expression is not fragmentation — it is how unity breathes
- Violence, exclusion, and dehumanisation are always anti-Omnicyclian
Or, stated in the language of Omnicyclion itself:
If everyone is you, then harming LGBT+ people is harming yourself.
If ALL IS ONE, then love has no enemy.
Expect the MOST Unexpected
Omnicyclion does not promise comfort.
It promises truth that dissolves false certainty.
Perhaps the unexpected truth is not whether people are born gay —
but whether humanity can outgrow the fear that demands the question in the first place.
When the One remembers itself in all its forms, love no longer needs permission.
Frequently Asked Questions — An Omnicyclian Clarification
This section is offered in a spirit of respect, dialogue, and non-confrontation.
Omnicyclion does not position itself as a theological authority over Islam or Christianity, nor as a legal authority over any nation or jurisdiction. It proposes a spiritual–philosophical framework that exists alongside, not against, existing traditions.
“Does Omnicyclion contradict Islamic or Christian teachings on homosexuality?”
Omnicyclion does not issue judgments within Islamic fiqh or Christian doctrine.
Islam and Christianity are internally diverse traditions with multiple schools of interpretation, jurisprudence, and pastoral practice. Omnicyclion fully acknowledges the legitimacy of these traditions to interpret their own sources according to their own methodologies.
What Omnicyclion offers is not a counter-fatwa, counter-theology, or alternative law, but a separate ontological framework that addresses meaning, unity, and ethics at a different level.
In short:
Islam and Christianity speak from within revelation and law.
Omnicyclion speaks from unity and consciousness.
These approaches need not invalidate one another.
“Is Omnicyclion reinterpreting scripture?”
No.
Omnicyclion does not claim authority to reinterpret the Qur’an, the Bible, or any sacred text for believers. That responsibility belongs to scholars, jurists, theologians, and faith communities themselves.
Omnicyclion instead asks a different question:
How does the One express itself through humanity as a whole, across cultures, epochs, and belief systems?
From this perspective, sacred texts are honoured as historical, spiritual, and moral guides, while recognising that human understanding of them unfolds within time, place, and social reality.
“Does Omnicyclion deny the concepts of sin, judgment, or divine law?”
Omnicyclion does not deny these concepts — it locates them differently.
Within Omnicyclion:
- Sin is understood as misalignment with unity, not rebellion against a distant authority
- Judgment is understood as consequence, not condemnation
- Law is understood as guidance for coherence, not an end in itself
This understanding is internal to Omnicyclion and does not negate how these concepts function within Islam or Christianity.
Believers are not asked to abandon their faith.
They are invited to recognise that different paradigms speak different languages about the same ultimate reality.
“If the One expresses through all people, does that mean all actions are justified?”
No.
Omnicyclion draws a clear ethical boundary.
The expression of the One through humanity does not remove responsibility. On the contrary, it deepens it.
Actions are evaluated according to whether they:
- increase or diminish dignity
- strengthen or fracture communal coherence
- generate compassion or harm
This applies universally — across cultures, orientations, and identities.
Omnicyclion does not endorse moral relativism, social disorder, or the erosion of communal values.
“How does Omnicyclion relate to laws that criminalise homosexuality?”
Omnicyclion respects the reality that nations govern themselves according to their own legal, cultural, and historical frameworks.
It does not instruct states, courts, or religious authorities on legislation or enforcement. It recognises that legal systems often reflect concerns about social cohesion, public order, and moral consensus.
At the same time, Omnicyclion maintains its own ethical stance:
Regardless of legality, the inner dignity of every human being remains intact.
Holding this view does not require defiance, activism, or confrontation. It simply affirms a spiritual principle that exists independently of legal classification.
“Is Omnicyclion trying to merge or replace religions?”
No.
Omnicyclion is ecumenical but not syncretic.
It does not dissolve differences between faiths, nor does it claim to supersede them. Instead, it offers a meta-perspective — a space where traditions can coexist without competing for exclusive access to truth.
From this view:
- Islam remains Islam
- Christianity remains Christianity
- Omnicyclion remains Omnicyclion
Each serves humanity in its own way.
Why Omnicyclion Must Still Speak Clearly
Respect does not require silence.
Omnicyclion exists because the world increasingly encounters situations where older frameworks struggle to address lived human complexity without generating fear or harm.
Its role is not to legislate, condemn, or provoke — but to articulate a vision of unity capable of holding diversity without collapse.
This is why Omnicyclion maintains its distinct voice while affirming ecumenical union:
Unity does not require uniformity.
Coexistence does not require agreement.
The One can express itself through many paths without negating any.
An Omnicyclian Closing
Omnicyclion invites remembrance, not rebellion.
Reflection, not rejection.
Depth, not division.
It asks only this:
How can humanity honour unity while walking different paths — without fear?
Afterword — Remembering Ourselves Back into Wholeness
There comes a moment in every civilisation when the deepest question is no longer Who is right?
but Who is hurting — and why?
Omnicyclion arises precisely at that moment.
It does not arrive to accuse religions, shame cultures, or rewrite histories.
It arrives to soften what has become rigid, to breathe where fear has tightened the chest of humanity.
To the LGBT+ person reading this — whether openly, secretly, or with trembling curiosity:
You are not an anomaly in the universe.
You are not a cosmic error.
You are not an afterthought in creation.
You are a way the One knows itself.
And to the parent, elder, imam, pastor, priest, teacher, leader, or neighbour who struggles — sincerely — between compassion and conviction:
You are not being asked to betray your faith.
You are being asked to remember its deepest heartbeat.
Before law, before doctrine, before fear hardened love into control, there was recognition:
That the life before you is not other.
That the soul before you is not foreign.
That the breath you witness is the same breath that animates you.
Omnicyclion does not demand agreement.
It asks for humility in the presence of mystery.
It reminds us that unity is not fragile — fear is.
That love does not dissolve cultures — violence does.
That compassion does not weaken societies — dehumanisation does.
When we say ALL IS ONE, we are not offering a slogan.
We are issuing a responsibility.
A responsibility to ask, again and again:
If this were me — if this were my own reflection — how would I choose to act?
The future does not belong to those who shout the loudest, legislate the hardest, or purify by exclusion.
It belongs to those who can hold difference without breaking communion.
Africa does not lose itself by remembering love.
Religion does not collapse by choosing mercy.
Humanity does not fall apart by allowing the One to breathe freely through its many forms.
And so Omnicyclion leaves you not with an answer —
but with a mirror.
Look into it gently.
Whatever you see there — gay or straight, believer or seeker, African or diaspora, certain or questioning —
know this:
You are already inside the circle of the One.
You were never outside.
You could never be.
ALL IS ONE — I AM THAT — I AM PURE LOVE.
And when humanity finally dares to live as if this were true,
the question will no longer be “Born gay?”
It will be:
How did we ever forget that love was the point?
