The bible is very clear about its opinion on homosexuality. it views it as an abominations and a sin. Many have based their own beliefs and views of Gays on the bible and what it says. These scripture readings are saying that marriage is meant for a man and woman and if people of the same sex were to 'lay' with each other they should be put to death. They are considered unholy and dirty. People believe God does not agree with homosexuality and therefore you will not be let into heaven with him. The church is anti-homosexuality as in the Bible it has passages such as this. They believe that God has made it clear they he only wants a man and woman to be married, much like Adam and Eve (the first humans God created). Arguably the bible also has the Golden Rule. Do un-to others as you would have others do-un to you. If God also wanted this rule to be honoured on earth, don't you think homosexuals should be treated the same as others? Jesus never took anyone'a rights away.
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
