Many Christians are strongly prejudiced against homosexuality, and they say their religious beliefs support their condemnation of homosexuality. Many other Christians are very supportive of homosexuals, and there are organizations in many Christian churches to promote the rights and dignity of homosexuals. The biggest such organization in the US Catholic Church is Dignity. It has not always had an easy time with the Powers That Be, but the organization continues to thrive.

So, is the bigotry against homosexuals a Christian thing, or is it just that many Christians are bigoted against homosexuals? I think the latter is true, the former not. Rather than attack Christianity as the root of bigotry, I think it far better to attack the bigotry itself. If you do that, you'll find you have many Christian allies, who also believe in justice and tolerance.
