		<description><![CDATA[Christianity, by and large, maintains heterosexuality as the only correct sexual orientation, defining non-heterosexual ideations and acts as sinful transgressions against the will of God. Some progressive Christian communities are changing to reflect a wider acceptance. However, in many fundamentalist and mainstream Christian communities there still remains an often unspoken pressure for queer individuals to <a href='http://thisnik.com/2011/01/30/the-fallacy-of-queer-as-sin/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>
