Notes

Christiany
In the Jehovah's witness branch of Christianity, LGBTQ is seen as something to be shamed. Within a study of 245 Jehovah's witnesses, 76% agreed that LGBTQ practices should be discouraged, while only 16% thought these ideas should be encouraged. The remaining 8% seemed to have no opinion or were neutral on the situation. Another study was conducted on Jehovah's witnesses with a range of ages from 18-29, 30-49, 50-64,65+. The majority of those who were against LGBTQ practices came from the 30-49 age range, with the percentage being 34%. Jehovah's witnesses can be "disfellowshipped," leading to ostracism from former support and social groups. "Disfellowshipping" can occur if sin is committed that is seen as weighty and is not repented for. Homosexual or LGBTQ practices would fall under the category of a sin which could lead to disfellowshipping. Within a survey of 187 Jehovah's witnesses, 90% strongly opposed same-sex marriage and would classify it as something against their religion.
