The reason I'm saying it isn't discrimination in regards to homosexuality is, most theists do not have an understanding of homosexuality (what it is and what causes it is not certain for me included, not just theists), so as the understanding grows, it will filter the homophobia out of the religion (hopefully). But forcing them while they grew up indoctrinated and thinking it is wrong doesn't seem fair. A lot of people take their religion seriously.
I disagree we are past it, but partly agree, as it's better.
In any case, how do you think we got past it? By allowing the Christians in the 60s and 70s the right to refuse service to those groups?
Or was it by forcing them, with secular laws, to do it?
Hint, it's the latter one.
Also, can I get a big LOL for someone thinking sexism has been weeded out of modern Christianity?! Really.
