There we are, NOYB. You and I fairly accurately reflected in the chart
comparing
"most conservative" vs. "most liberal" views on homosexuality.

I find the following comments at this site rather revealing:

Most human sexuality researchers believe that one's orientation is fixed and
unchangeable. Exceptions are those specialists in human sexuality who are also
religious conservatives. Many of the latter are members of NARTH, a small
professional organization that promotes conservative religious beliefs about
homosexuality.

Imagine that! Some people apparently let a religious desire for certain results
influence the methodology of their research.

Also of interest, the description of the two groups holding the most
conservative, vs. the most liberal views.

Most Conservative:

The most conservative view,
typically promoted by the conservative religious groups, Christian, Jewish,
Muslim, Sikh, etc.


Most Liberal:

The most liberal view,
Typically followed by religious liberals, gays, lesbians, mental health
professionals and human sexuality researchers.

"Mental health professionals and human sexuality researchers"? What the heck
would they know about it, compared to a Mullah, a Rabbi, or a Fundamentalist
Preacher?

Don't know about you, but I usually head straight to the nearest chruch when I
need a science lesson. (not)

Most Liberal:

The most liberal view,
Typically followed by religious liberals, gays, lesbians, mental health
professionals and human sexuality researchers.

Chicken or egg? Did these people become mental health professionals and
human sexuality researchers as a result of their liberal leanings? Is this
the vast left-wing conspiracy? Inquiring minds.....

You are trying to substantiate your argument with an anti-"Christian
Conservative" website? You're right! I did LOL.

Conservative people who also happen to be Christian don't want to roll back
the hands of time several centuries like the Taliban. We would just like
the current status quo to be maintained, without any *further* erosion of
our country's moral fabric.

Pssst. Hey, NOYB, just between you and I, I think that website is trying to
explore the entire assortment of Christian perspectives on issues. (Tough
concept for a lot of folks who sincerely believe their only private
understanding is the only one that could possibly be valid, or Christian.) Does
the introduction of ideas not in lock-step with your own perceptions somehow
threaten conservative Christianity? Why? If you're so absolutely right, you
have nothing to fear.

Plus, we're talking a matter of constitutional law, not religion. I only used
the graph from that website because it seemed to illustrate our opposite
positions so clearly.

MIssion statement from your "anti- conservative Christian" website:

Points of concern:
It is our policy to compare and contrast the beliefs and practices of very
conservative with very liberal Christians. Most North American Christians
belong to either a mainline denomination or the Roman Catholic Church. Their
own faith group may teach some beliefs similar to the conservative wing of
Christianity. Some beliefs are similar to that of the liberal wing. Some
beliefs are intermediate between the two.

We feel that it is important for persons of all faith groups (Christian and
non-Christian) to understand the great diversity of Christian beliefs -- both
among denominations today and throughout history. Many Christians are aware of
their own denomination's current beliefs, but are unfamiliar with the history
of those beliefs, or of the teachings of other denominations.

Doesn't sound anti-conservative to me. Sounds like a group of folks more
interested in finding the truth than following a dogma.
