If you were gay in the 1900's they gave you a straight jacket If you were gay anytime before that you got sent straight to hell.
Coming out of the closet is hard enough as it is, is this how you think that gay people should still be treated?
No, I mean... Religion is the cause of gay hating, you know. If a church straightjacketed them, of course they would blame their sexual orientation on a church...
Times are changing, and so should the way we handle controversial topics. Do you think people would accept the things the Church did hundred years ago if they still do it now?
We have to act vastly different from what religion teaches. I don't agree with any of the nonsense in Bible. One of the big misconceptions about the Christian faith is that God wants all homosexuals to wear straight jackets.
Yes, I think you're right about how we need to treat others as humans, instead of following what many churches tell us to do. However, you should be aware that there are some religious denominations that are surprisingly tolerant of homosexuality, and gay people have a right to believe in whatever religion they find appealing.
