Help with sensitive topic about homosexuality and views of different world religion?

I am taking a religiona philosophy class and i am to write a research paper about any topic regarding religion, i decided to choose comparing Judaism and Islam but too many people talk have written about the topic so i have decided to change the topic to homosexuality and religion instead but i am having a bit of trouble writing an outline for the topic, can you guys please give me some points to go about this paper?|||What I would do is explain what homosexuality is. Of course, it%26#039;s not the easiest question to answer, but note that there are several theories out there, several being biological, and lots being religious. With this in mind...





I. Homosexuality (and the biological theory/facts)


II. Western religions


III. Judaistic religions


IV. Islamic religions


V. Asian religions/philosophies (depends on your point of view)





In each of the sections dealing with religions, write how the major religions of each region view homosexuality, and even go into how this has affected the world today. For example, a majority of western denominations believe homosexuality is a sin, and today it has created the theory that people can be %26quot;cured%26quot; or their homosexuality via religious healing/conversive therapy.





I hoped this helped, and I wish you the best of luck on your paper!|||Christians oppose homosexuals because the bible says two men together is detestable. How do they know that that part wasn%26#039;t just the opinion of the monks who wrote it.
