THE TWO SPIRIT TRADITION

Just watched this short video

 


The main guy in it was very open and honest about himself, it was moving. 'Two Spirit' is the modern Native American term for what we call gay, though for them it means something much broader. It is not confined to sexuality, but refers primarily to having both masculine and feminine apects; as such, it is a gift. Two Spirits were traditionally honoured, they were even seen as sacred. They were recognised as Two Spirited by how they lived, rather than by who they slept with. There are a number of other worthwhile videos on this theme if you google it.
