Leviticus 20:13

So one could assume that over 80% of the US population believes that gays should be put to death, and since studies show that approximately 8% of the population is gay, that leaves only 12% of the straight US population that believes gays have the right to live.

Pretty fucked up, I don't think we're in any position to be pointing fingers.
To be fair, most Christians don't go by the Old Testament anymore.
