An unnecessarily provocative comment from someone who is so erudite.

As a matter of fact- correct me if I am wrong- I think crossing the oceans
is tantamount to losing caste. So your over the top analogy is not correct

As a practical matter- yes, I think that dvijas settling in significant
numbers abroad - the loss of cultural capital-  is far more injurious to
Dharma than some people "proudly" advertising their gay lifestyle.
