As for the whole gay=bad thing; I agree with you completely that that is a terrible thing. But you can't blame religion for that. For every complaint you have you should only blame people. They're the ones who find it convenient to degrade minorities and take religion as a weapon to prove whatever they want.

I have nothing against open-minded religious folks, a lot of my best friends are religious. But from what I've observed, at least in most christians and catholics, they are not open-minded and they perceive other religions and ideals as a threat to what they believe, and of course they do whatever they can to eliminate or shrink that threat. Homosexuality is a big, fat one. All though I've noticed several people aren't as touchy (or at least not as openly downsizing) about it now that an assload of America's teens (religious included) are coming out of the closet. But I don't doubt - in fact I strongly believe - that it only took ONE radical religious mop to start the gay=bad trend, and it's easily widespread because the majority of whites in America harbor a christian faith or a very similar one. Simply put, the trend being devised an average athiest joe is as likely as Pamela Anderson never having laser vaginal rejuvenation surgery.
