By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country
A new polling analysis by Tthe Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life finds that most mainline Protestants want homosexuality to be accepted by society. Just 39 percent of those in historically black Protestant churches and 26 percent of evangelicals share that view.

It's true that protestants are far more accepting than most religions that branch from christianity. I believe the poll numbers are entirely accurate.
Isn't it nice that when a church says "All are welcome" they actually mean it?
They're doing a better job than christians anyway. I thought christians were supposed to turn people towards god... the opposite seems to be happening, though.
I'm not religious. In the slightest. The only aspect of most religions I respect is Jesus. He was depicted as being kind, loving and accepting. It was written he stated the greatest commandment be "Love thy neighbour". Using something so beautiful as a shield to hide your discriminative behavior behind should be the worst sin you should worry about.
Homosexuality
Our Jesus, the only way to heaven, does not condone sin, he hates all sin, including homosexuality, not the sinner. Sinner can be redeemed only by accepting Jesus as his Savior and repenting or turning away from his sin, no matter what it is!.
Mainline Proyestant's suppoirt Homosexuality
I do not where you did your poll at, but I suspect somewhere in SanFrancisco, California. You are simple lying to the American public . Other wise you would disclose the demorgraphics of the poll that was taken, even if there actually was one? Just becuase your Gay or your best friend is , do not use the power of the press to push your Gay agenda down the throats of Protectant and Middle America which in fact make up the majority of the United States and their soleme opinions. Thank you!
