I agree
Yes as I'm sure someone will point out, "but there's non-religious people who don't agree with homosexuality!"

They still get their values as a legacy of 2000 years of mental conditioning from The Abrahamic faiths. If you have vehemently anti-gay attitudes prevailent within a society because of religion, they're not going to suddenly disappear over night, or even within one generation, just because religious influence declines. It's taken decades, basically 3 generations, since most Western countries legalised homosexulaity for LGBT rights to even get to this stage, and we still have people killing us.
And sure, most societies pre-Christian or pre-Islam were not really "loud and proud" with gay rights, but it was a relatively better situation for homosexuals in most societies before.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
