While many policies and practices in our culture have origins in Christian churches, they are seldom examined to determine if they are harmful to society. This is a qualitative study into policies and practices of discrimination against non-heterosexuals such as found in and supported by Christian churches. A non-exhaustive history of the oppression of homosexuals is included in this study with documentation that suggests that our current policies and practices of discrimination against homosexuals have origins in Christian churches. To this end a compilation of reports and studies unfolding the oppression of homosexuals that is believed to be linked to religious policies is offered and a comparison and contrast of two Christian denomination’s policies and practices on homosexuality is examined. One denomination has policies and practices of exclusion of homosexuals; the other has policies of inclusion with practices that range from fully inclusive, to tolerant, to exclusion. This study does not provide quantitative data on the direct impact of discriminatory policies and practices of the denominations examined in this project. A study providing quantitative data on the direct impact of policies that discriminate against non-heterosexuals is recommended.
