I wonder what they would think about Asexuality...

probably the way to go untill your expected to contribute to the evergrowing genepool.

my only big surprise from that map is that muslims are allowed to w*k it all they want :I

i always knew catholicism was the most hardcore one. you can tell by the ammount of old rituals and ornamentation...

True, but half of all Catholic priests are gay - so it might fall under the 'no clear position' category for that reason.

i think its to do with the official stance, "no clear position" the whole debate theyre doing in the states etc, "marriage is about a man and a woman!" "yes but he doesnt explicitly say: gayness is bad!" etc

maybe its a coloring error...

The chart only mentions homosexual orientation, not homosexual acts. Catholics condemn homosexual acts, but the orientation is involuntary. So I think their labelling is accurate in this case, it's just a poor selection of category.

Islam specifically provides for divorce, so that is definitely in the allowed category. I'm not surprised that religioustolerance.org would have got that wrong, though. You would expect a lot more religous tolerance from an organization that derives it's name from it...
