I have experience of only my brand of christianity. I am not just thinking "Gay vs Str8" here. I am thinking of all acts of intimacy between people of any gender.

Laws in the USA (now repealed, I think) to do with the positions allowed when a man and wife have sex, based on some sort of religious totem are a good example.
