No I don't think it is a sin. I am a Christian and I believe in God but honestly despite what the bible says God loves everybody and God will not judge you if you are gay or straight because God does not judge you. People don't chose to be gay, people chose to blow up airplanes and run airplanes into buildings. It is not a sin.

The Bible, in Genesis, in chapters one and two, provides God's blueprint for marriage and for His good gift of sex. The gift is only to be enjoyed within a marriage between a man and a woman. There are no exceptions suggested, such as homosexual partnerships. From Genesis on, the Bible praises the marriage of a man and a woman, but it speaks only negatively of homosexual behavior whenever it is mentioned.
The Old Testament states, "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable" (Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13). The New Testament agrees, listing "homosexual offenders" among a list of people who "will not inherit the kingdom of God" unless they are cleansed through Christ (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Other passages are Genesis, chapter 19; Romans 1:18-32; 1 Timothy 1:8-11; Jude, verse 7. However, it is important to note that the Bible speaks only of homosexual behavior (which would include lust—choosing to fantasize about behavior), not unchosen feelings. God will not judge a Christian guilty for his or her involuntary feelings.
Sometimes it is said that the Bible does not record any words of Jesus about homosexuality, and therefore it must be acceptable to God. However, the Bible does not record sayings of Jesus about a number of other specific sins either. When people asked Jesus about marriage, He told them to remember what Genesis said about God's plan for marriage (Matthew 19:1-12). So, in this sense, Jesus did have something to say about homosexual partnerships. If people had asked Him, He would have told them to remember what God said about marriage in Genesis. God only blessed sex within the committed marriage relationship of a man and a woman.
Some have tried to reinterpret what the Bible says, in an effort to approve homosexual relationships. For a reply to such efforts, read "Straight and Narrow" by Thomas Schmidt or "A Strong Delusion" by Joe Dallas. These books are available through most Christian bookstores or through Regeneration Books, P. O. Box 9830, Baltimore, Maryland 21284, telephone: (410) 661-4337.

I think that being gay isn't necessarily a sin. I think that the way gay people act towards relationships is a sin.
Having multiple partners is a sin, gay or straight.

Does the bible REALLY say it's a sin? Which chapter(s) and verse(s)?
I don't think being gay is wrong. I don't think that homosexual activity is wrong. I also don't think being gay has anything to do with who you choose to have sex with.

It doesn't matter what I think. God is very clear in both testaments how he feels about homosexual activity. So, to answer your question, "Do you think being gay is a sin?"
No, I don't. Is participating in homosexual activity a sin? You bet.
Same as adultery would be for me.

Yes, it is a sin. If someone thinks they are born that way, but don't practice homosexuality, it is not a sin. But if they practice it, it is emphatically a sin.

The Catholic Church believes there is nothing sinful about being homosexual. But homosexuals like all unmarried people are called to celibacy.
The Church specifically says that homosexuals "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."
With love in Christ.
