Religion vs. homosexuality
lvkmyi
Christianity
The majority of Christian-doctrine-based anti-homosexual arguments state that homosexuality is condemned by God, as evidenced by various passages in the Bible.
More liberal Christians often try to apply the doctrine of "love the sinner, hate the sin" to permit tolerance of homosexual individuals while still restricting in various ways the right to actually practice homosexuality.
