Why are gay people oppressed?

The religions of the Book have all traditionally viewed same-sex activity with a horror that defies description.

• Christianity
• Islam
• (Some interpretations of) Orthodox Judaism

Religious hatred also extends to the following religions:

• Jainism
• Hinduism
• Taoism
• Baha'i Faith

But some denominations of Christianity and MOST denominations of Judaism now accept gay people with full equality. Also one tiny denomination of Islam (called progressive Islam) is gay friendly.

(There aren't many documented cases of non-religious-based persecution of gay people.)
