Unfortunately, people assume that if you are gay, you must be out every night having sex with loads of people. Otherwise how else would you know that you are gay? I agree with you that people know they are gay whether they have ever had sex or not. Just like people know if they are heterosexual even if they are virgins.
If you believe that acting on your feelings is a sin, then don't act. I, myself, believe "if it feels good and it harms no one, do it." Of course I am not a christian.

You seem to have some mixed messages in here. What I would say is that by definition being gay is involving some form of same sex attraction. So are you implying that as long it remains a fantasy it is okay, but as soon as it becomes physical it is a sin? If that is the case you don't really make sense, because if you want to live by a doctrine just to think something can be sinful. Not that I believe in that anyway. I believe if god is all seeing and all encompassing then god would not give a care about who we choose to be attracted to.

I'm puzzled by your question. Are you saying it's ok to be gay but not to act on those feelings? Why should any gay person be celibate when most of the world is not? The so called gay lifestyle does not revolve around sex as some like to say. Sex is but one small part of my life and is not the main focus between myself and my partner. I am not Christian, so I do not believe anything is a "sin" but I do have morals and I follow them. I think one should live a happy life and not focus so much hatred and energy going against what other people feel. There is so much going on in this world and none of it would be going on if we as humas could just learn to live and let live and realize that we are all unique and different yet share a common goal to just be at inner peace with ourselves.

Whatever your sexual orientation, it is what it is. I've never heard anyone say that being gay is sinful, however, I've heard that gay sexual activity is deviant behavior. And what is meant by this, is that gay sex is non-productive, in that it goes against procreation. And if you bring the Bible into the issue, gay sex goes against the grain of humankind, in that it prevents us from being "fruitful and multiplying".
And so, if you are gay and if you date and have sexual relations, this is your business and your business alone. You do not owe anyone an explanation. You do not have to broadcast your personal lifestyle to the world. Keep it to yourself.
When I meet a person for the first time, my first and only thought concerning that person does not have anything to do with their sexual orientation. In short, I for one, do not care who beds down with whom. It's just not my business.

Well you're halfway there.
Being gay is not a sin.
And having gay sex, in a loving, caring and respectful relationship is also not a sin.
When people choose a few verses from the Bible to vilify gay sex, they are choosing six or seven verses that talk about violent and/or abusive sex against members of ones own gender. Those verses do not speak of homosexual love.
Keep and open mind and keep learning. Thanks for writing your question.

the way I read it, being gay in itself is not a sin.
sex, whether straight or homosexual is a sin if you're not married to the person you're doing it with. I'm not sure about gay marriages, though. giving in to temtations, whether sexual, hate, greed, or anything else wrong - "small" or "large" is the actual sin

the people who say it's a "sin" have been raised in a world where some people are taught to hate anyone/anything that's different. they "use" the Bible out of context to justify their hatred. they have, apparently, nothing better to do with their sad, pathetic lives than to point fingers and pass judgment. if you ask THEM why they "chose" to be straight, they get all bent out of shape. i think they somehow feel "superior" when they make their nasty remarks and call us sinners... if they only realized how inferior it makes them look....
loving someone is not a sin! no matter what the gender!

No sweetheart its not a sin. My dad TRIES to get me to believe in the things that HE believes in. Religion is something he is constantly on me about. He believes in god so he wants ME to believe i him too just because HE thinks its right and it makes HIM feel whole. But its NOT the same case with me. I try to tell him but after awhile it gets tiring. SO you know what? Be who you are WITHOUT fear. So what if you like to recieve your love in a different form? If it makes YOU feel good and adds less stress to your life then so be it! Dont let them form who THEY WANT you to be. You be an individual and do what you want. In the end ALL that matters is that YOU are happy. If they cant accept it....then be tough and move one with your life. Happiness and peace is what counts. If you are happy then awesome!

i don't know much about the bible but being gay is not a choice it has been scientifically proven that gay people have something different in their brains. so god must have made gay people for a reason right? all you can do is pray and be right with god and once you have confidence in your relationship with god. ignore what everyone else has to say because you know that you are right with god and that all that matters. good luck to you

It is not a sin to be GAY . It is a sin to have sex with a person of the same sex .This is according to scripture ...But we are in the end times and it is not to late for you to ask God to release you from satan's grip .
