Reconciliation has three primary deities who comprise the holy union, they are Utu, Enki, and Marduk. Utu is the father of Marduk who is adopted by Enki in the Sumerian account. Amun is the father of Khonsu who is adopted by Mut in the Egyptian account. It is believed that because Enki adopted the son of Utu they then became a family. This is supported in the Egyptian account where Enki a male deity became Mut a female deity, suggesting that Enki/Mut was the consort of Utu/Amun and was transgendered. This then suggests that Utu was bisexual, and Marduk/Khonsu would then have been raised by two male parents as the result of a gay adoption.
That simple paragraph underlines a lot of the core beliefs concerning homosexuality and the full support of the Oikos of Apollo for the LGBT community in preaching religious tolerance and equality. It is for that reason the Oikos of Apollo seeks to spread the religion of Reconciliation and the magical practice of Hermeticism. In Reconciliation individuality is promoted and consequently self acceptance, in Hermeticism the use of magic is employed to live life as you intend it to be. This can mean many things most notably finding love, so long as you're open minded enough to let it happen, and willing to learn the occult/magical arts as a means of self determination.
Too many people spend their lives floating about and repressing themselves in an effort to fit in or get by without being noticed, and choosing to reject everything they ever wanted. That is simply no way of living life, it might be safer, but it's an empty existence. Reconciliation is a religion focused on discovering yourself from the ground up and the things you want out of life, where Hermeticism is the tool by which you may obtain those things.
