Prabhupad essentially states in "The Journey of Self Discovery" that 2 men shouldn't be married, but what is the difference between 2 men and a woman and a man if there is no sex in the relationship? Do the Vedas speak out against homosexuality? What do they say specifically about marriage? How does love play into all of this? I can understand that sexual gratification can keep us bound to the material world, but somehow I think that a relationship is more than just sex. Why doesn't ISKCON awknowledge this?
