I have a cousin who is at a university, in
a co-ed dorm situation (men and women on the same floor); she and her
current roommate would like to move out of their dorm and into an
apartment with a male friend (who happens to be homosexual - this may
or may not be relevant). Her parents have been bent out of shape, not
because this male is homosexual, but because she is considering
'cohabitating,' and believe that she would be violating Baha'i law if
she moved into this living situation.
Dear Ben,
Back in the seventies I know our NSA was adamant that we should not live with same-sex roomates even if there was nothing going on sexually. However, I'm under the impression things have lightened up sense then. In any case I think the fact that Baha'u'llah allows a maid to live in a man's household without being married could be presented as justification for sharing houses with roomates of both sexes.
warmest, Susan __________________________________________________
