Why do religious people not approve of homosexuality?

[fjp999]

To add to what Marshlander already pointed out, I have been talking to Sudanese who says that displays of that sort of affection between two men is not uncommon in his country, Sudan, to the extent that if he were to walk hand in hand with a boyfriend, no one would suspect that they were gay, because it is a common way for two male friends to behave. He actually also mentioned resting one's head in the lap of a male friend. Now, that between a man and a woman might create problems in an Islamic country (but then I'm not even sure about that... got to ask Sudanese if it would be acceptable).

We have a new channel on tv over here called CurrenTV (news // current)... it was started by Al Gore. Really great TV. They do all sorts of international programming. Had a piece on a middle eastern country w men holding hands. Filmed at a mall and ALL the men were holding hands :eek: IT WAS REALLY HOT seeing that

A female interviewer stopped them and asked if they were GAY!!! They looked at her like she was insane. Then she pointed to them holding hands and the men just giggled. Some explained it was a custom to show friendship but others just walked off hand in hand. Really cute
