OK, so I just happen to be stumbling across a lot of charts of interest lately.
Here's one from The Independent, in its article on the Ugandan tabloid which published the names of the (alleged) top 200 homosexuals in that country. All the better to track them down and beat them up, I suppose.
Anyhow, here's the graphic:
By the way: I'm not sure if I agree or not, but here is a guy who argues that gay marriage is actually the end result of Christianity's emphasis on equality. (But, I would note - when you read Karen Armstrong's
take on Islam, she emphasises its success as being based on innovative
ideas of social justice and equality for its time. So why does it
still treat homosexuality as death worthy, after all these years - and
despite its weird little corners such as Afghani's rural fondness for
dancing boys? And yet when you compare Muslim teaching on sex within
marriage, and things such as contraception, it takes a more pragmatic
and sensible line than Catholics. Sex and religion and culture and
science - it's all very complicated!)
