Main Argument There are religious groups that are more accepting towards LGBT groups than others.

Basic Points The research shows that religious groups that have large numbers of members, tend to be more accepting of homosexuality. Unitarians, atheists, reform & conservative Jews, and United Church of Christ applauded the ruling.

Catholics are abit more divided. In general, U.S. CAtholics are more accepting of LGBT groups than the traditional CAtholics who aren't.

SouthernBaptists, LAtter-Day Saints, Missouri Synod Lutherans, along with Evangelicials and most of the historically black denominations are the least accepting of homosexuality. Groups that aren't widely accepting of LGBT groups are Jehovah's witnesses, Pietists, and Seventh Day Adventists.

Supporting Evidence There are infographics that record how accepting the various religious groups are towards LGBT groups.JayKMPix (talk) 06:25, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

The Main Points I'll add to the entry: Inclusive & Affirming Ministries - based in Cape Town, South Africa - an organization that works to raise understanding of sexual orientation in Sub-Saharan African countries - will address discrimination and prejudice through dialogue, training, and Bible-study resources. The organization hosts sexuality diversity workshops in Gugulethu for vulnerable and threatened LGBTI people in August. The orgainzation has discussions on intersectionality.

United Coalition of Affirming Africans, a group founded by pro-LGBT African Amercian clergy, present in Uganda, Rwanda, and Kenya, that is building an inclusive Christian movement tied to a larger social-justice agenda. The organization conprises of 50 Kenyan clergy 50 pastors who support gay rights. The groups beleives homophobia goes against God's love, and that some religions have 'sinned against God's love by condeming gays." JayKMPix (talk) 04:59, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
