I'm not a Muslim, I am a Christian.
According to Muslim Shite law, if you are gay, you must die.
According to Jesus, you are to be forgiven, and given a new life.

It is not mentioned in th Qur'an but some sheikhs said this and attributed it to a hadith which I really don't know if it was true one or not..
but some people say that those verses are talking about how we deal with homosexuals:
As for those of your women who are guilty of lewdness, call to witness four of you against them. And if they testify (to the truth of the allegation) then confine them to the houses until death take them or (until) Allah appoint for them a way (through new legislation). "Qur'an 4, 15"
And as for the two of you who are guilty thereof, punish them both. And if they repent and improve, then let them be. Lo! Allah is ever relenting, Merciful. "4, 16"
some Qur'an explainests "few of them" said that the first verse was talking about lesbians and the second one was talking about gays.
I can't give you my opinion as a Muslim because there is no definite opinion about the punishment but all Muslims believe that homosexuality is not allowed in Islam.

al-Sistani issued a fatwa to that effect at one point, but withdrew it after Western diplomats and journalists pressured him on it.
...
Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:
"Since 2005 there have been reports that the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq's "Badr Corps" has been involved in death march campaigns against LGBT Iraqis citizens, and that they have gotten support for such polices by the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani[6]
This is partly due to a fatwa issued in October, 2005 by Iranian-born Iraqi Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, published on the Arabic portion of his homepage, stating that homosexuality and lesbianism are both "forbidden" and that they should be "Punished, in fact, killed. The people involved should be killed in the worst, most severe way of killing.”[7] While the fatwa for male homosexuality was removed from the website in May, 2006, it was not revoked. The fatwa for female homosexuality is still on the website."

Iran hangs two gay teens for the 'crime' of homosexuality
I'm fairly certain that many Christians on here would no doubt approve of Iran's actions.

I'm a muslim and NO theres no such things, all i know is we should try to advice them to convert back to being normal and if they wouldn't, we'll just let them be. I mean we know that some may be a lil bit 'different'

I am a convert to Islam, but I don't believe they should be killed.
