Some people believe we should treat each other equally, and one Human should have as many rights as another. Yet christians often resist this, saying that women should be subservient to men, black people should be the property of white people, and homosexuals shouldn't be able to be with the people they love. Many would say equality is a good thing, but since it isn't good according to the book then we shouldn't do it?
Jesus taught that we're all equal in God's eyes. He never said that woman not equal to men, but that in the family and the church they have different roles. He definitely never stated that black people should be the property of white people. He did say that people should not have sexual relations with people of the same sex, but also that sex for everyone should be within the married state. Either this means he hates everyone or the said there's a proper situation for sexual relations.
