All religions function by creating an 'in-group' and an 'out-group'. The believers gain in their sense of personal identity by distinguishing themselves from the non-elect.
Most religions are wise enough to realise that by identifying unpopular minorities with the 'out-group' they will make the exclusivity of the in-group more attractive (especially to bigots).
For many years southern Baptists successfully out-grouped negroes, Jews and Roman Catholics.
The Mormons also successfully assigned negroes an inferior status until relatively recently: Brigham Young preached:
No person having the least particle of Negro blood can hold the Priesthood
a principle adhered to until the time of Lyndon Baines Johnson.
Outgrouping negroes and women has become less attractive, as both groups have become better organised, more vociferous, and waged.
But gays are still seen as a soft target.

What if you haven't seen your boyfriend for 3 weeks due to both of you going on holiday and before you went everything was fine but when you get back he decides its not working any more?
You can't keep a healthy relationship if one doesnt feel the same anymore. You could ask what you have done wrong and ask him if you can fix it but in the end if he says that he just doesnt want the relationship anymore, you are going to have to respect that. You havent done anything wrong, you BOTH went on holiday.
