That's being a bit simplistic but generally yes. It's not like we campaign for gays to be stoned to death or anything though. The general reason for the split between Catholics and Protestants was due to how Catholicism tends to change "the rules" (for lack of a better word) to suit itself. It has a lot of doctrine that is simply not compatible with scripture regardless of interpretation.
So in that respect we tend to follow what is written in the Bible a bit more.
Time is short for me this morning so what I've written in the post are broad generalisations but it gives you a basic idea.
