    Like… most? Christianity comes to mind. Doesn’t the Bible say being gay is a sin? I’m not quite sure, I don’t read fantasy books.

      Nope. There’s nothing like that written the actual bible, and the reason people thing it does, is because throughout history, people have weaponized dogma by reinterpreting things during translation. It’s written in the bible that “men shouldn’t sleep with boys”, as in, children. Then, because of the power of the pen, some asshole interpreted it as “Men shouldn’t sleep with other men” and put that in the translation.
