This statement comes from the United Methodist Church's website:
Equal Rights Regardless of Sexual Orientation
Certain basic human rights and civil liberties are due all persons. We are committed to supporting those rights and liberties for all persons, regardless of sexual orientation.We see a clear issue of simple justice in protecting the rightful claims where people have shared material resources, pensions, guardian relationships, mutual powers of attorney, and other such lawful claims typically attendant to contractual relationships that involve shared contributions, responsibilities, and liabilities, and equal protection before the law.Moreover, we support efforts to stop violence and other forms of coercion against all persons, regardless of sexual orientation.

How many religions consider homosexuality a sin?
A:Most Christian denominations used to regard homosexuality as a sin, although there is change towards tolerance and acceptance. Most of Judaism also regards homosexuality as a sin. Islam is, by and large, stridently homophobic, although homosexuality is practised openly in some of the most fundamentalist areas such as Afghanistan but in a way that allows it not to be regarded as homosexuality. The ancient Greco-Roman state religion considered morality as a secular matter, not something for religion to concern itself with, so Greece was very tolerant of homosexuality, while it was frowned upon in Rome. Egyptian religion was known to encourage sexuality, so it seems to have been tolerant of homosexuality. The mystery religions that emerged in the eastern Mediterranean region at around the same time as Christianity demanded confession of sins, but not much seems to be known about what they regarded as sin. Eastern religions also tend to consider morality as a secular matter, rather than a religious one.
