Because there's at least an equal number of people not subscribing to it. I don't blame any religious person for something others take from the same scripture. That's the difference between applying the broad brush and looking at humans. Would do some of you some good if you did the same.

Again, what does that tell you, other than society and socialisation playing a role? Religion obviously isn't that important when added to the mix, as the American example of muslims fairing better than JWs, Evangelicals or Mormons should show you. And being at least on equal footing with most other christian denominations.
Ok. Society plays a role. I didn't say otherwise. But if you're going to point out a few denominations and say look at these in comparison to Muslims I think it's important to note that gay marriage isn't even legally possible in places where the majority of people are Muslim and all the places where it's legal are mainly Christian.
And if you want to look opinion polls they're also showing Muslims have a worse opinion of homosexuals as a general trend worldwide.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
