Laws erng sexual behavr are the most basic: many natns GLBT persons rema subject to the ath penalty unr law, while numero relig movements om several fah tradns have advoted harsh punishment for homosexual activy. Homosexualy was illegal most morn natn-stat until the late 20th century, and relig movements and proscriptns were central to difyg homosexualy as illegal. In most societi, relig proscriptns agast homosexual activy fed the ntent of secular law, and this is particularly te Abrahamic societi (perhaps pecially Islamic-domated poli), although rearch also suggts a siar legal and social aversn Confucian societi (Adamczyk, 2017; Adamczyk & Cheng, 2014; Adamczyk & Pt, 2009).

GAY UNSELOR'S FIRG BY INDIANAPOLIS CATHOLIC SCHOOL PERMTED BY FERAL APPEALS URT

Bee of the lack of clear proscriptns agast female homosexualy Abrahamic law, many natns veloped sexual regulatns that do not prohib homosexual relatns among women. In natns where harsh penalti rema, the prence of welg and affirmg movements liberal relig anizatns may lim the wispread prosecutn of homosexualy. While there has been some succs prsurg natns to crimalize homosexualy and avoid the applitn of the ath penalty, much of the world relig movements seekg harsh crimal sanctns domate the polil playg field (Adamczyk, 2017).

Polil movements for gay rights veloped slowly the mid- to late 20th century, emanatg om gay clubs and bs, and om apolil associatns like the Mattache Society and the Dghters of Bilis (Fetner, 2008; Lneman, 2003; Rimmerman, 2002; Smh & Hair-Markel, 2002). The nature of municipal polics and the ubiquy of gay-owned bs major ci led to several unexpected victori for the GLBT movement, as cy uncil members and mayors were generally supportive of non-discrimatn (Bernste, 1997; Hair-Markel & Meier, 1996). Conservative relig movements rema stnchly opposed to anti-discrimatn ordanc, and several have recently failed even large ci like Hoton, Texas (Sherkat, 2017), while ncentratns of fundamentalist Prottants have a negative effect on favorable votg toward gay rights public referenda (Hair-Markel & Meier, 1996; McVeigh & Diaz, 2004).

The celebratns were ntroversial and herently polil bee many municipali, cludg New York Cy, had ordanc prohibg the public exprsn of homosexualy (Holland, 2017).
