are they actually homophobic, i know that their view towards heterosexual sex is that   it should be only for procreation, and homosexual sex can never be that so consistant-logically they'd be against it.

Prabhupada said some pretty terrible things, including that homosexuality was demonic.  ISKCON has never denounced that, and tends try skirt the issue when pressed.  One time I was eating in their tent at glasto and they had a Q&A.  Someone brought this up and it got quite tense.  The man hosting the talk was very uncomfortable.  I loved it.

Great curry tho - the q is often massive - sat there chilling at least once during any given festival. Do they go out and about chanting anymore like they used to tho?

They do - sure I saw them bounding through the circus fields in 19.

Hey lovely, thanks for sharing this, did a bit of research and was easy to see they are problematic, saddened as I thought they were a good bunch x
