    No, there are some religions that accept homosexuality. For example, most of the ones formed in the 20th century (the Raelian movement, .Wicca, Scientology, New-Age off shoots, various Neo-Pagan traditions, etc.). Not to mention the Unitarian Universalists, and some individual sects of Buddhism and Hinduism.

    they do no longer. there may well be one community American tribe that observed it replaced into incorrect, yet for the main section they observed gay people as particular spirits with a different connection to the super Spirit. Buddhism does no longer condemn homosexuality. as far as i recognize, Taoism and Shintoism make no assertion on it one way or yet another. the classic Greeks and Roman religions observed no longer something incorrect with homosexuality. So on what foundation are you claiming that "each and every of the international religions" condemn homosexuality once you curiously mean that some sects of Christianity and Islam do?

    Technically, so-called 'religions' themselves do not necessarily condemn homosexuality. Individuals do. At least individuals who recognize that God condemns homosexuality and cannot condone a behaviour that He declares "vile". There are a few churches around in the country which still preach the old "fire and brimstone" type sermons, but they are on their last legs.

    Do all religions condemn homosexuality? Absolutely not. Several religions - right within Christendom - embrace it wholeheartedly.

    Not all, but most of the major religions do. Technically any religion can condemn homosexuality if a follower of it is uncomfortable with the aspect.

    They certainly do not ALL condemn homosexuality.

    Unitarian Universalism ACTIVELY PROMOTES the rights of homosexual, transgender, bisexual and questioning people.

    We encourage them to join our church and find peace and acceptance. We have a zero-hate policy.

    We don't just "love the sinner hate the sin". No. We accept them as people on equal terms. Unitarians are very much humanists, most of them don't even believe in sin.

    Unitarian Universalism is the most peace-loving and tolerant religion there is.

    Catholicism makes the distiction between homosexuality and homosexual acts. While the inclination towards homosexuality is disordered, homosexual acts are what the Catholic Church recognizes as sinful. The Church does not condemn the homosexual person.

    No. Raelism, Reform Judaism, Reconstructionist Judaism, Secular Humanistic Judaism, most varieties of Satanism, most varieties of Paganism, and Unitarian Universalism all accept gay people.

    Paganism doesn't, I think. And some sects within Paganism are strictly for gay people.

    Otherwise, it's pretty much a taboo every where else. But why must homosexuals be in a religion? They're cooler without one.
