HOMOSEXUALITY
"What is the Baha'i attitude towards homosexuality?
Baha'i law limits permissible sexual relations to those between a man and a woman in marriage. Believers are expected to abstain from sex outside matrimony. Baha'is do not, however, attempt to impose their moral standards on those who have not accepted the Revelation of Bahau'u'llah. While requiring uprightness in all matters of morality, whether sexual or otherwise, the Baha'i teachings also take account of human frailty and call for tolerance and understanding in regard to human failings. In this context, to regard homosexuals with prejudice would be contrary to the spirit of the Baha'i teachings. "
