Why do the world religions reject same sex relations?

[Faiyez]

This seems to be a common rule in religious traditions and including relatively recent ones like the Baha'i faith. Same sex relations are invariably forbidden.

Is there anything to be said about this?

[Not Big Surprise]

so, fun fact
queerness is a part of the person

if queerness is a sin, then you can't hate the sin and love the sinner

No rules. No laws and orders. That's the Old Law that was misconstrued and corrupted by the pharasies, the righteous jews. Jesus changed all these things. All you need to do is know Him, and Follow Him. It's the truth. Forget the millions of ways you can be wrong. Were all wrong. It's why God sent Jesus. To show us how to live, and die. Things had gotten so mental with all the rules, taxes, customs, expectations, priests and noble
authorities. If that's what you're caught up on, I assure you, none of us will ever live up to the idea. I say again. Jesus. Jesus for the criminal, for the noble, Jesus for the straight, the gay. Jesus for the upright and Jesus for the lowest of us. You are loved, and saved from that Judgement you dislike. Praise Jesus! Through Him are we changed.

I agree.. and such ideas are manmade. Such laws were man's way of trying to buy salvation, purchase their way to God. It's always man's idea that they can even reach God on their own, that there is some thing, anything, that separates us from one another, that they know of God's true nature. Our ideas on justice, righteousness and holiness will always be perversed.

While religion played in part but not the whole reason. There's alot more to the story.

Then what's the full story bud? Hatred against gay people is stated plainly in the bible. And with more than half of Americans calling themselves believers, it's no wonder why pride is still needed in the west. Because many people genuinely believe that gay people are "bad." All because it says so in their precious book.

Yes let's treat the book that says you shouldn't mix certain fabrics, eat certain animals, who you can enslave, how you can enslave them, and how long you can enslave them.. selling off your daughters etc., as the word of god... It's obvious to anyone with more than half a brain that it's nothing more than a collection of fables plagiarized from earlier myths which were also written by man and which nobody believes in anymore, but no this one god is the true god... when all the others have been buried by science. Everyone used to worship wind gods, river gods, etc., now we don't. The god of the bible is just one more cretin that will eventually die out like the other thousands of gods before him, along with the hateful teachings that come with the bible.

I like how you come here and just say "there's more to the story," and don't care to elaborate any further. How bout you actually say WHY it's not the full story. I can tell you right now that religion is the root of hatred and bigotry of gay people, it says it clearly in their holy books. What else is there to say or prove...? It's there plain as day for everyone to read.

Are you using the bible to preach hate? Who else does that....

Meeink used the Bible to preach hate, “just like Hamas does with the Koran” and started his own public-access cable TV show in Springfield, Illinois, called “The Reich” full of racist “skits and jokes.”

Interesting link to what you are doing compared to the other "hate" groups, and you are being a bit insulting to me since I am also an atheist since my early teens, but since you would call me "cisgender" you would also preach hate against me as well.

Sad really to see all the hate groups coalesce behind the (D) party, and is why they left me during Obama's reelection and activism became prominent. #WALKAWAY

Damn bro you're full of assumptions. I'm not preaching hate, I'm telling people what the bible says. It literally says this in the bible, how is that preaching hate? It says plain as day that homosexuality is a sin in the bible... Maybe YOU should read the bible... What kind of mental gymnastics did you have to go through to come up with that ridiculous accusation that I'm preaching hate...? Get real man.

Also I wouldn't call you anything, let alone "cis-gendered," I'm not part of the "woke leftists blah blah blah" sh*t, whatever the fck you guys come up with nowadays to slander the left. I'm also not a democrat, I'm non-partisan in regards to politics. So as usual, you're full of assumptions.
