High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The relationship
between religion and homosexuality can vary greatly across time and
place, within and between different religions and sects, and
regarding different forms of homosexuality and bisexuality. Current
doctrines of some of the world's largest religions generally
view homosexuality negatively. This can range from quietly
discouraging homosexual activity, explicitly forbidding same-sex
sexual practices among adherents and actively opposing social
acceptance of homosexuality, to execution. Most who are opposed to
homosexuality argue that homosexual sexual activity is a sin, not
the sexual orientation. Several organizations exist asserting
conversion therapy can help diminish same-sex attraction. However
within these religions there are also people who view homosexuality
positively, and some religious denominations may bless same-sex
marriages. Historically, some cultures and religions accommodated,
institutionalized, or revered, same-sex love and sexuality; such
mythologies and traditions can be found around the world.
