Not individual religions, not anyone's faith in some deity, but religion itself.

I'd like you to consider, for a moment, whether any organisation except a religion really cares to prescribe what you may and may not do with your genitals.

The god of the Bonobos doesn't care. They can do what they want and with which other Bonobo they want.

Religions, with or without deities, seem to me to seek to control what you do with your life, including your own body. And they seek to control your attitude to so many things sexual.

Ask yourself if we would truly have homophobia without religions.

Ask yourself how many people have been killed because of religions

Ask yourself how many gay kids have been bullied, killed (Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc), or have killed themselves because of religions.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
We treat everyone as having good sense and mature judgement.
