Why are gender roles and sexuality changing?

Gender and sexuality are very important in today’s social debate, and deviating from the norms has to some extent become easier. This makes it easier for many people to be identified as they are.

In Denmark new legislation, among other things, means that being homosexual and bisexual, for example, has become easier, but in large parts of the world those who do not conform to the norms are judged harshly. Traditional religious thinking often contributes to condemnation. But there need be no contradiction between spirituality and openness to different perceptions of gender and sexuality.

Martinus is a good example of this. A hundred years ago, he showed great understanding of people who deviated from the norms of gender and sexuality. In fact, he saw it as a sign that mankind is slowly evolving towards a new balance between masculinity and femininity – with the evolution of an entirely new “third sex” as the final result.
