272. I don't know that that is true, actually.
When I peruse the local news message boards in my area, all the people who are against homosexuality provide Christian fundamentalist reasons for their bigotry. My experience in this represents more than four decades and several different parts of the country.

I have never, ever heard a single person say anything against homosexuality UNLESS they were giving supposed Christian Biblical "reasons" - invariably selected passages from Leviticus, while the other passages are ignored - for their bigotry.

It is very easy to assume that ANYONE expressing violent hatred against gay people has been heavily influenced by fundamentalist Christian teachings.
