Possibly not the best way of phrasing the idea. . . that's Vanessa Baird, author of Sex, Love And Homophobia, in the article Gay Persecution Rising Around the World - Book (not the best title/headline, either, no):

In the United States, Baird notes an increasing polarization of attitudes. "While San Francisco boasts the largest openly gay community of any city in the world, anti-homosexual movements in Kansas, Ohio and Colorado advocate as a 'Christian duty' the rejection, and in some cases even killing, of gay people."

"And this is not all just a small group of nutters in the mid-West," she told Reuters. "This kind of evangelism is growing, and unfortunately a substantial part of it is homophobic and says homosexuality is a sin or a disease."

Guess I should confirm that this is the same nutte--, ah, people insisting that contraception equals abortion, rather than just assuming they are and maintaining that they seem pretty opposed to sexuality generally, not just the same-sex variety. But that could take precious seconds of research.

Actually, longer, as neither the article nor the press release name any organizations. From the latter:

�Sex, Love and Homophobia� is the second book in Amnesty International�s Human Rights Issues series. It brings to light the hidden history of homosexuality, how it is regarded by different faiths, and the violent persecution of lesbian and gay people around the world. It is aimed at 16-year-olds and upwards, regardless of their sexual orientation, and provides a general introduction to the complex issues of sexuality and homophobia.

The book is published by Amnesty International UK, and its focus is global; I only quoted the bit about the US because that's the sort of person I am.
