You have to remember that not all religious folk are homophobic though. My dad's a vicar and is totally fine with me being gay, his organist is gay and has a partner and his last deacon was gay and lived with her lover.
Growing up in the church I was obviously surrounded by a lot of "churchyness" but actually never came across outright homophobia. Many, many people that have since found out I'm gay and are involved in the church community have not even batted an eye lid so I think many think its worse that it really is.
This being said, my father is a C of E reverand, and not Catholic....I think perhaps this would make a large difference
