oh by the way, about gays/lesbians
I know that for a time in Europe, gays are encouraged by churchs. it was 15 centuries or soemthing. because the christian (?) teachings that peopel need to restrain their desire so gays were encouraged... (I am not sure the exact facts, ask Yorick!
)
anyway, later the revolution came and washed away the old believes, they talked about "Sex Revolution" (is that the correct term?) for mid age monks. so that only proved more that, gay/lesbian hate didn't start from christian, but later, someone used christian as a tool to play out discrimination
