Another aspect:

Gay people would object that a man with the sexual orientation of a woman is basically a woman, so Yoganandaji's words would hold true anyhow.

But apparently this is not the interpretation of the SRF monks and nuns (gay marraiges are not celebrated).

I believe that Yogananda today would not approve gay marriages. He was not intolerant of gays and some of his disciples were gay ones, but a gay monk is something which is coherent with a spiritual path, whereas a gay marriage is something which may be not.
