You left out the part about the ideal (according to Charlie) is one

refuse to be reborn as the opposite sex you're reborn, a little light

That's because you applied those judgments to all gays. Duh. Your own
words show that you are indeed homophobic, Billy G. You've repeatedly
condemned gays for just being gays. That's bigotry.

Looks to me that you made up that last part about 'stubbornly refusing
to be reborn as the opposite sex.' I never heard him say any such thing.

I'd say that's a common reason. Also, studies have shown that
gay-bashing homophobes are often found to be latent homosexuals
themselves. They overcompensate and attempt to hide it by attacking
gays because they're terrified of their own feelings and being exposed.

Prominent gay-bashers are sometimes found in 'difficult to explain'
circumstances. Here are a few names that come to mind:

Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, Larry Craig - and here's a good one:

Troy King, Alabama's Attorney General as well as the chairman of John
McCain's Alabama Leadership Team was reportedly caught by his wife in
their bed with — naturally — another man: 

    King, a conservative Republican Christian who has called
homosexuality the 'downfall of society,' has been caught with his
pants down — literally — in a gay sex scandal. King was reportedly
nabbed having sex with a male assistant by his wife, Paige King, in
the couple's own bed.

The most interesting take on this one in Hindu/Vedic literature is a
story in the Yoga Vashista. A king and queen decide to get into
spiritual pursuits and the queen gets to UC pretty quick. The king
will have nothing of it and wanders off into the forest for a few
decades of austerities. A few decades later the queen reckons he might
be ready for some instruction, but knowing he won't listen to a woman,
she disguises herself as a celibate monk. After some detailed
instruction on what's what he gets enlightened, and then the queen
starts thinking, hold on this guy is my husband and we haven't had it
for years So she goes through a big rigmarole of changing sex every
night so the king can hump the celibate monk he's met in the forest,
while in UC. Real soap opera stuff and calculated to break the
boundaries of people who think in conventional ways about what's
spiritual.

It's clear that apart from what Charlie has said that it's a common

bodies of both male and female. It's no stretch to assume that
shifting from one to another can be accompanied by desires from the
previous gender. In any case, to consider it somehow evil and

An interesting factoid to add is the Ramtha followers believe a soul incarnates 
into the same gender pretty much exclusively. The very few who cross over into 
the opposite gender when they should not be doing such an abhorrent thing are 
called crossovers and looked at with disdain.

Bongo:

Sorry to burst your bubble but you've mixed up your spiritual 
anecdotes with an episode from the original Star Trek series.  That 
was Captain Kirk who found himself trapped in the body of a gorgeous 
blond on some outer planet in a remote solar system.

Fortunately for them, there was that precedent-setting Supreme Court 
decision Brown v. Kansas Board of Education which ruled that 
discrimination against crossovers was covered under the equality 
guarantees under the first amendment.

I heard that, as a result, the Ramtha hierarchy had to pay some 
undisclosed amount in a class action suit brought by a whole score of 
put-upon crossovers who had been treated unfairly by their 
organisation.
