We have seen how your church has tried to destroy gay people over the
centuries with their cruelty and trying to force your religious ideas on
others, no wonder people are moving away from religion in the Western world.
Burning gays on the stake, torturing them, jailing them, hanging them, it
just goes on and on.
Despite that Gay people are still here and people are accepting them more
and more, as we see various countries are permitting Gay Marriage, that
includes some very Catholic countries. France's parliament had a vote on it
and it sailed through recently.
Part of Ireland is also considering it.
No 3 Persecution of Homosexuals by Christians.
In both Ancient Rome and Greece homosexuality was permitted.
Once the Christian church became a power, the persecution of homosexuals
began.
Most of the ancient Near East adopted an attitude to homosexuality very
similar to that of classical
Greece and Rome which simply accepted it as long as it was done among
consenting adults

==================
Negative attitudes towards same-sex relations continued following the
adoption of Christianity and in 390, laws were re-enacted, making such
relations punishable by death

-----------------------------
The Romans brought, as with other aspects of their culture, their sexual
morality to Spain.[1] Romans were open minded about their sexuality, and
relationships among men were commonplace. Among the Romans, bisexuality
seems to have been perceived as the ideal. Edward Gibbon mentions, of the
first fifteen emperors, "Claudius was the only one whose taste in love was
entirely correct"—the implication being that he was the only one not to take
men or boys as lovers.

From various sources.
342 – The first law against same-sex marriage was promulgated by the
Christian emperors Constantius II and Constans.
529 – The Christian emperor Justinian I (527–565) made homosexuals a scape
goat for problems such as "famines, earthquakes, and pestilences.
589 – The Visigothic kingdom in Spain, is converted from Arianism to
Catholicism. This conversion leads to a revision of the law to conform to
those of Catholic countries. These revisions include provisions for the
persecution of gays and Jews.
1120 – Baldwin II of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, convenes the Council of
Nablus to address the vices within the Kingdom. The Council calls for the
burning of individuals who perpetually commit sodomy.
1232 – Pope Gregory IX starts the Inquisition in the Italian City-States.
Some cities called for banishment and/or amputation as punishments for 1st-
and 2nd-offending sodomites and burning for the 3rd or habitual offenders.
1250–1300 – Homosexual activity radically passes from being completely legal
in the most of Europe to incurring the death penalty in most European states
1260 – In France, first-offending sodomites lost their testicles, second
offenders lost their member, and third offenders were burned. Women caught
in same-sex acts could be mutilated and executed as well.
1265 – Thomas Aquinas argues that sodomy is second only to murder in the
ranking of sins.
1283 – The French Civil Code dictated that convicted sodomites not only were
burned but that their property was forfeited.
1327 – The deposed King Edward II of England is killed, allegedly by forcing
a red-hot poker through his rectum. Edward II had a history of conflict with
the nobility, who repeatedly banished his former lover Piers Gaveston, the
Earl of Cornwall.
1483 – The Spanish Inquisition begins. Sodomites were stoned, castrated, and
burned. Between
1540 and 1700, more than 1,600 people were prosecuted for sodomy.
1532 – Holy Roman Empire makes sodomy punishable by death.
1620 – Brandenburg-Prussia criminalizes sodomy, making it punishable by
death.
1624 – Richard Cornish of the Virginia Colony is tried and hanged for
sodomy.
1726 – Mother Clap's molly house in London is raided by police, resulting in
the execution of three men.
1903 – In New York on February 21, 1903, New York police conducted the first
United States recorded raid on a gay bathhouse, the Ariston Hotel Baths. 26
men were arrested and 12 brought to trial on sodomy charges; 7 men received
sentences ranging from 4 to 20 years in prison.
That is only scratching the surface of all those poor people thrown into
prison tortured and killed by these laws brought in by these Christians.
