The answer is yes. I know this sounds really pushy, but I just got back from Chautauqua and I saw this amazing movie by Dan Karslake, called "For the Bible Tells Me So". It is very much pro-gay and it is very much pro-religion.
www.forthebibletellsmeso.org
It interviews "five very normal, very Christian, very American families" who have enough insight to accept their gay children. It talks about literalism, and how people take the Bible and use it as a weapon. Like how being gay is considered, quote, an "abomination"--and then a page later, eating shrimp and wearing linen and wool together is an "abomination". The Bible was made thousands of years ago, and back then, population was declining, and gay relationships aren't exactly baby-making ones. Back then, "abomination" meant "going against custom". It was against custom to eat certain foods and wear certain clothes, and to waste semen where it was desperately needed.
Needless to say, the population emergency has deflated.
