most religions who speak out against homosexuality draw this conclusion from the bible. In all honesty I have spoken with a scholar who knows the origianl languages and insists that the passages attribted to the anti-homosexual teachings are actually incorrectly translated but that is neither here nor there at this point.

The point of it is that Rome is not alone. I'd wager that 99% of bible based religions are against homosexuality. The RCC is trying to become a bit more rudimentary in its thing, that whole back to the bible thing.

Let's face it, to single out the RCC on this matter is ridiculous. If you are basing teachings on the bible as all of Christendom does, well frankly, gross inequities are unavoidable. It is the nature of the superstitious, judgemental, patriarchal beast.
