Homosexuals are being persecuted because somebody has decided that this sin is far worse than the sins that other people commit. Priests who are homosexual are facing rejection because they are of a different sexual orientation. This article may be helpful in my paper because it gives the side of a gay clergy men that had to quit because of their sexuality. Younger gives some good points about what the church is coming to, and how they are expending a majority of their congregation. Wagner, Glenn, MA, et al.
Homosexuals face many people in their lives that are homophobic.
It may range from a family member to a religious leader. These all plays a part in their self-image. This may lead to many feelings of guilt, depression, and the feeling of worthlessness. The general rule is that if you were brought up with a more traditional and religious family then you are more anti-gay. Meaning that if you were homosexual and living in these traditional families then you would have a harder time coping with being a homosexual.
