LGBT misinterpretation

The Shatapatha Brahmana 2.4.4.19 does not state that Mitra implants his seed in Varuna. The word "his" is omitted. You can find proof here. This is a misinterpretation by a biased and unreliable source (Gay & Lesbian Vaishnava Association), especially since verse 2.2.2.21 states this: "It is through union that he produces him: the curds (payasyâ, fem.) are female, and the whey is seed. Now what is produced by union is (pro-duced) properly: hence he thereby produces him by a productive union; and therefore there is an offering of curds." It's not Mitra's semen, it's whey. 122.174.67.31 (talk) 02:21, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

For the purposes of this article it doesn't actually matter what the right interpretation is. What matters is that some people believe this. Especially since what you removed was not a claim about the deities but a claim about what some people believe. So we should keep that. Although I do think updating the source to get the url working is important Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 03:15, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
