Homosexuality is excused because of feelings too many times. If you are a born again Christian, and dedicated to the teachings of Jesus Christ, you will know that He said in Matt 4:4, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." So when God said, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination, (Leviticus 20:13), you are to obey, no matter what. We cannot merely go off of feelings, because they are a part of the flesh, and "...The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Matt 26:41) If someone wrongs me or slaps me in the face, I want to hurt them back, but it's not right. I want to harm them because I myself have been hurt. But, it's the flesh. If you truly want to please God, live the way He told you to, it's not an option. He will help you and keep you and give you deliverance if you really desire it with all your heart. He is able to fix what is broken. So, I plead with you in the name of the only Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, don't allow your feelings to keep you from inheriting God's kingdom. What matters most of all is the salvation of your soul.

Being gay does not mean you will go to hell. But all the people who think they know God's mind should really re-consider putting words into His mouth.
It is rediculous for them to say a mass murderer can be saved by accepting Christ. But a good Christian who happens to be gay is bound for hell.
That is just untrue and utterly horrific.
Be the best servant of God that you can be. Ask for his guidance in all that you do and his forgiveness when you fail. What ever you failed at.
Feed the hungry. Clothe the naked. Be kind. Follow where God leads you.

Depends what country you live in.
In London there's a very popular gay bar called "Heaven". When you're over 18 you might like to visit it if you're ever in London.
OK, seriously, what harm is it going to do to the world if you..... (I'm heterosexual and find the specifics of gay sex rather off-putting)? I would say none and consequently am not bothered that your gay. It just doesn't matter.
Now I would maintain that reason is prior to faith. Even standing face to face with your God you have to decide (reason) whether or not to obey him. Reason asks whether there is anything wrong in you being a fudge packer. If there isn't anything wrong in you having a predeliction for scatter cushions and being good with colours then reason dictates that you can only subscribe to a religion that does not condemn the ****-bandit. That is to say if you establish that being gay is ok then you have a clear refutation of any religion that condemns it. If you still feel faith in Christ join one of the many churches that are fond of poofs.
(BTW you're 16. Your body is full of hormones. Its a variable age. Don't feel you have to choose now one way or the other. Try both out. I have quite a few gay friends who experimented with girls when they were young.)
Feel free to mail me if you want me to cyber-introduce you to some who are "men who like shopping" who've been through what your going through.

Unlike other sins, this sexual sin has a judgment administered by God Himself: He gives them over to their passions (Rom. 1:26-28). This means that their hearts are allowed to be hardened by their sins. As a result, they can no longer see the error of what they are doing. Without an awareness of their sinfulness, there will be no repentance. Without repentance, there will be no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no salvation.

yes you will
if you believe in God and Jesus Christ, then you will know that they love and loved all mankind, regardless of their differences....when did religion become a force of control and damnation, religion and Christianity should be of love and tolerance and respect as Jesus Christ would have been, being gay is not a sin you are who you are and God makes no mistakes, be happy and confident regardless of what man tells you ...God loves you and you will not be going to Hell.

It depends on if you're an Atheist or a Theist. If you believe in Jesus you will go to heaven if you don't you will go to hell. Just like anyone.

To lie with mankind, as with womankind is an abomination (Lev.18:22, Lev.20:13 below). The effeminate and the abusers of themselves with mankind shall not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Cor.6:9-10 below).
As a member of the body of Christ (Col.1:24), such as these are washed, and sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of God (1 Cor.6:11 below).
Lev.18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.
Lev.20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.
1 Cor.6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1 Cor.6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Cor.6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

That is not your only choice! You might try examining another religious following to open the mind and release the guilt and stress.

IF YOU ARE A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN THEN YOU KNOW THAT BEING GAY IS WRONG...IT IS AGAIBST GOD'S LAWS. PEOPLE ARE NOT BORN GAY NOR DOES GOD MAKE THEM GAY, SATAN MAKES PEOPLE GAY OR MAKES PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY ARE GAY. UNFORTUNELY, SOCIETY CONDONS THIS LIFESTYLE, MAKING PEOPLE THINK THAT IT IS RIGHT. UNLESS YOU CHANGE YOUR LIFE YES YOU GO WILL TO HELL. IN ORDER TO GET INTO HEAVEN YOU NEED TO GET RID OF ALL SIN IN YOUR LIFE. THE BIBLE STATES THAT
Mark 9:43-47,
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
GOD WILL CONVICT YOU OF YOUR SINS, I CAN'T JUDGE YOU. WHAT YOU DO IS ENTIRELY UP TO. BUT I WANT YOU KNOW THAT I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU.
