Abrahamic religions.
'...The Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, have traditionally forbidden sodomy, believing and
teaching that such behavior is sinful...'
Judaism.
'...The Torah (first five books of the Hebrew Bible) is the primary source for Jewish views on homosexuality. It states that:
"[A man] shall not lie with another man as [he would] with a woman, it is an "abomination"...'
Christianity.
'...Christian denominations hold a variety of views on the issue of homosexual activity, ranging from outright condemnation
to complete acceptance.
Most Christian denominations welcome people attracted to the same sex, but teach that homosexual acts are sinful...'
Catholic Church.
'...The Catholic Church teaches that those who are attracted to persons of the same sex are called to practice chastity, just
like everyone else. The Catholic Church does not regard homosexual activity as an expression of the marital sacrament,
which it teaches is only possible within a lifelong commitment of a marriage between a man and a woman.
According to the Church's sexual ethics, homosexual activity falls short in the complementarity (male and female organs
complement each other) and fecundity (openness to new life) of the sexual act...'
Mormonism
'...The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that no one should arouse sexual feelings outside of marriage,
including those towards members of the same sex...'
Islam.
'...All major Islamic schools disapprove of homosexuality, Islam views same-sex desires as an unnatural temptation; and
sexual relations are seen as a transgression of the natural role and aim of sexual activity...'
Bahá'í Faith.
'...the Bahá’í teachings also take account of human frailty and call for tolerance and understanding in regard to human failings.
In this context, to regard homosexuals with prejudice would be contrary to the spirit of the Bahá’í teachings...'
Indian religions.
'...Among the religions that originated in India, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, teachings regarding
homosexuality are less clear than among the Abrahamic traditions, and religious authorities voice diverse opinions.
In 2005, an authority figure of Sikhism condemned same-sex marriage and the practice of homosexuality...'
East Asian religions.
'...Among the Taoic religions of East Asia, such as Taoism, passionate homosexual expression is usually discouraged
because it is believed to not lead to human fulfillment...'
