Religion and Gays	Religion is the genesis of the controversy, both the beginning and the framework in which the intense debate is waged.   What one believes religion teaches about homosexuality is often the partition that divides those who support gay rights and those who do not. People of strong faith are on both sides.  By providing links to a wide variety of websites it is our hope we might increase the knowledge and improve the understanding we have for each other. While other faiths are included, there is an emphasis on Christianity because in the USA that is the religion that drives the discussion.  We believe this website is the most comprehensive one devoted to this seismic issue.
