This example went too far with the disowning and all, but every religion has their core principles. Christianity is the largest religion, so I think your comment shows your unwilling to accept that fact. 

Nevermind how like I said before, Islam/Muslim parents have stricter beliefs on this matter and would react much more harshly, but oh nonono, we cant get into that. Lets bash Christianity because we can get away with it. Gimme a break. 

I think it's more about bashing any religion that condemns natural acts out of ignorance. I hate any religion or religious sect or group that condemns homosexuality.  

There's a lot of things people do in the name of god/religion that I flat out refuse to accept because it's barbaric or in some way ignorant or bigoted.  Circumcision is one of them, condenmnation of homosexuality or contraception is another big one; none of that even gets close to the horrible habit some groups have that seems to urge them to kill or eradicate or forcfully convert those who don't agree with them.  

What's your stance on people who are not religious and yet disagree with homosexuality. They must exist! Militaristic chauvenists, I'm sure there are some out there that are not religious. American Beauty?

I'm sorry. I'm rarely in this sort of discussion as I don't even have much of an opinion on this subject so I have absolutely no idea what your point is.

Also, I didn't actually say that or even mean to say that. He can't alter the fact that he is sexually attracted to the same gender so I obviously wasn't suggesting that. He can obviously use some self-control and refrain from actually acting upon this instinct of his, which is what his father disapproves of so much, though, which is what I meant.

I don't like them either, but they're infinitesimally rare compared to those who condemn it for religious purposes.  I've never personally met someone who condemned homosexuality that wasn't doing it 'becuase god calls it an abomination'.  

To be fair, all institutions are equally vulnerable to be hijacked by bigots. The supposedly atheist Soviets had their moments of anti-semitism, the "all men are created equal" government of the USA for racism, etc.

Hell, look at Chik-Fil-A. Chicken restaurant hijacked to being a homophobe's bully pulpit.

Me either, then again they are rare.

I think Nazist germany included homosexuals in the atrocities of the holocaust though.

You said that you are entitled to enforcing your beliefs, like enforcing a law. All I can say is that a society that works that way is a theocracy, and they usually don't work out that well for people.

Sad to see, but understandable. His son took a stance that the father could not accept and he handled the situation in a calm manner. Some people don't compromise their beliefs, even for their own family. Glad to see he took a stand.

are you saying that it's GOOD the father disowned his son?
