Homosexuality

INTRODUCTION
In modern days religion and homosexuality are still dissonant
concepts.
The rejection of the difference in sexual orientation is translated
in sexual prejudice.
Prejudice is perceived when related to a non dominant sexual
orientation. All those who associate themselves with a sexual
minority will have to deal with the resulting oppression of that
status and, consequently, with the privilege of being heterosexual.
Negative attitudes towards other sexual orientations are most
likely the result of a system of beliefs that includes an elevated level
of religiosity and conservatism concerning sexuality.
