Homosexuality
- Religious views
  - West-boro baptist Church
    - "God hates ****"
    - "You love ****, you hate God"
    - "If you're a fag, you're going to Hell"
    - "These people hate God and worship the rectum"
  - The Bible
    - Romans 1:27
      - "Men committed indecent acts with other me, and recieved in themselves the due penalty for their perversion"
    - "Do you not kow that the wicked will not intherit the kingdom of God?...nor homosexual offenders...will inherit the kingdom of God."
      - Homosexuality is 'wicked' and is defying God and therefore they shall not inherit Go's kingdom
    - The story of Sodom and Gomorrah
      - "Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven, and He overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground."
        God destroyed the cities Sodom and Gomorrah and almost everyone in them because of the homosexuality that happened within them.
  - Case study
    - In 1998, Matthew Shepard, an openly gay college student, was beaten and murdered during a robbery. The media reports that Matthew was deliberately targeted by his murders because he was homosexual, and has labeled it a hate crime.
      - Christianity has been blamed for the rise in the USA of gay hate crimes.
- Non-religious views
  - Children should have a mother and father
  - The traditional nuclear family is necessary
  - The definition of marriage
  - "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve"
    - Our bodies were made for hetrosexuality and procreation
  - Being against gay marriage is the same as being racist
