I love all people and will never turn anyone away when they are gay but I think that we as christians should voice our opinion more and stop being scared of what people are going to think of us.

I believe that people already know what the Bible says and must live their lives according to their beliefs and choices. Pointing the finger isn't helping. "Speak the truth in love" and then the truth becomes theirs to accept or deny. I do not judge, and I still love.

It doesn't matter to me if a person is Gay or not.
There are many homosexual Christians out there who are in long term monogamous relationships, are honest, work hard, and do a lot of good in the world. Why should I discriminate against them just because they are dating some of the same sex? I shouldn't. Yes, some would say what homosexuals are doing is wrong. Do we ignore the other parts of them? Do we ignore that they also help their fellow man, work hard or whatever? Alot of times I think we do. There are a lot of heterosexual Christians out there who sleep around, aren't honest, and don't help their fellow man. I don't discriminate against them. Why don't Christians give them a hard time about their lifestyle and choices? Why don't we say "oh...he's straight. That's why he does that." We don't because it's stupid and incorrect. So why say it homosexual Christians. I hear more Christians voice their opinions about what homosexual people are doing than they do about heterosexual people are doing. Heterosexual people are commiting as many mistakes/sins/whatever as homosexuals.
I use the term Christian because I am Christian. I watch a lot of Christian TV and read Christian newspapers/books. But...the same is true about Judaism and other religions.
Why do we point fingers at others, but ignore our own sins and mistakes?

There is no such thing as a homosexual christian- but if you are speaking of gay as in happy- there are many of those!
(anyone can say they are a christian and live a gay liftestyle but it goes against God, so therefore they are not walking with the Lord or repenting of sin) --Have you read what the Bible says about homosexuality? I know many people have posted scriptures on that. ) The word Christian in todays world is not defined right. Many people say they are christian, but are they following Christ?

I love all people. I love Muslims, and Costa Ricans, and accountants, and prisoners in jail, and ballet dancers, and people openly/actively practicing homosexual behavior, and the color blind, and everyone else.
Being a Christian is to accept who Jesus Christ says He is - God made flesh, to ask His presence in our lives by asking for forgiveness for our sin, accepting His gift of mercy - His sacrifice of His own body on the cross, believing that in Him death is conquered and that your life is eternal, and that the life that we once led is made whole through Him. Our lives change when we ,as Christians, become disciples and are made responsible to spread the message of salvation to others through our lives. The way we live our lives is the example that the rest of the world around us looks to. Francis of Assisi said, "It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching."
God loves all people. But back to your question; there are no gay Christians.

It has nothing to do with being scared of gays, it is being offended by their sin. Regardless of what society says it is just as much of a sin to be a practicing gay as it is to be a murderer. We should never accept them, it is our duty to tell them what will happen to them if they don't change their life. There is no such thing as a practicing gay christian.

I don´t think homosexuality is right before the eyes of God. The is a bible verse which says:
Dueteronomy 22:5
A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear woman's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.
And also 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
9: Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor prostitutes nor sodomites
10: nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.
The term translated Sodomites (in Greek) refers to males who indulged in homosexual practices.
So I don´t think we should think that gays are saved because they believe in Jesus Christ.

Gay Christians is an oxymoron. You cannot be a practicing gay and a Christian at the same time.

Gay Christians aren' Christians at all. How can they be Christians and displease God at the same time (remeber the story of Sodom and Gommorah in Genesis)

I believe we should love gay christians even more due to the fact that there is nothing our Lord cant do!!! We should pray for these christians even more, praying that the lord would open there eyes and that our Lord would lead them to repentance!

I wish people ( christian and non ) would understand this: Love. We are to love our neighbors, friends, family, wives husbands, and yes our ENEMIES. If you see gay people as an enemy, and are a christian, you are to pray for them. We are to bless those who persecute us. And higher than that even ~ TREAT EACH OTHER THE WAY U WANT TO BE TREATED.
Love thy neighbor as thyself (in our dreams but that's why they're dreams right?)
Jesus made that very clear. But to ALL the haters in any aspect, I give you one verse that sustains all time, all things:
"Vengeance is mine saith the Lord."
