They are prejudiced because of religion. There's no other reason to view gay people negatively.

Some people just hate gay people because they hate gay people. Not all gay haters are religious.

There's alot of laws based on religious moral codes

[seedofvengeance]

No, they're based on basic moral codes. Were laws to be based on religious moral codes, blasphemy would be illegal.

[Aapep]

Same with cheating on a spouse or premarital sex.

Or sacrificing a child to Satan.









That's already illegal anyways though.

Homosexuality wasn't looked upon nearly as unfavorably as it was after Christianity took over. However, the idea of gay marriage was radical beyond anyone's comprehension until recent times.

Would it be like a 30 year old going out with a 13 year old?

Pederasty was much more common in ancient times than homosexuality, so no.
