Universal Unitarianism, United Church of Christ, Disciples of Christ, some Quaker congregations, some Episcopalian/Anglican congregations, or Buddhism.

The first three are among the more tolerant. Episcopalians are more similar to Catholics though and may feel more familiar.

Also, like some others have said, most Catholic Churches, congregations, and clergy are accepting of homosexuality and won't unusually preach on it, and even more rarely in a hateful way. If you've been to Catholic Churches that do, just try another one if you want to remain in the Church, even though its true that it is still considered a sin in the official canon...but then again, so is birth control.

Good luck, God bless!

If you are already a Catholic, you already have the religion that will not condemn you to hell for being gay.
Catholics are very forgiving of that.
Actually they have to be because a large percentage of their priests are in the closet themselves.
They will tell you that it is a sin of course but they will also tell you that there is no possible way that you can ever go to hell if you are baptized a Catholic unless you are excommunicated from the church.
And the only way that anyone would even be considered for excommunication is to do something like convert to Islam.
If your sister has already been baptized a Catholic like you and has not been excommunicated from the church then there is no possible way that she can ever go to hell. :)

You can still raise your children as Catholic if you choose, you don't mention their age but if they are very young its a non issue at this point but you can always just tell them that sometimes GOOD people make choices in life that are contrary to what the Bible teaches, we must still treat them kindly and respect them and more importantly pray for them. The bottom line is every religion under the christian umbrella shares the same gay is a sin belief. Sounds like you are willing to branch out to a different religion for your sisters sake that is more accepting.

Research different religions and see what you like best. Everyone can tell you what religion to be, and which one is right but only you can see what you like the best. You really dont need a religion to teach your kids this though. Good luck, and I hope you find what your looking for. I know how horrible it can be to teach children to be racist towards people because of skin color or partners. But your a good parent for wanting to teach your children this!

Welllllll... at the instant I did alot of examine in this as a results of the finished Iphone app controversy. the respond isn't any!!!! the only sparkling bible verse that christians have approximately homosexuality is corinthians6:9 Or do you presently not comprehend that wrongdoers won't inherit the dominion of God? don't be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor working in direction of homosexuals. The word "effeminate" replaced into as quickly as the uncomplicated be conscious used whilst the bible replaced into as quickly as first translated into english and than as time went on and christians began to regulate the bible and come out with new fashions.. They desperate to throw gay in the area of effeminate. The meaning of effeminate is to be lady.. that's completely distinct than gay. in this verse Paul replaced into chatting with the lads and telling them discover out a thank you to be merely surprising christian upright men. He used the word lady because of the certainty back than it replaced into as quickly as frowned upon whilst a human getting was once susceptible like a woman. now not asserting lady are susceptible.. It replaced into as quickly as merely the various roles they had back then whilst in comparison with now. playstation : I do think of in God and smart layout I merely do not evaluate what the church has made faith into those days.

Umm, everything but Christianity, as far as I know. To be more specific, Wicca, Buddhism and Shamanism. Those are the only ones I know of specifically that don't frown on homosexuality.

any religion that has its belief rooted in one god will see homosexuality as a sin .you can always make up your own religion since you do not accept the truth about that sin any how .there is no true church that will teach you your beliefs on this matter, you either accept gods word or you dont .i dont know if this will make you feel better but murders,theives,cowards will not enter the kingdom of heaven as well (REVELATION 21:8)so she wont be alone

There are many Protestant denominations if you want to stay Christian. Disiples of Christ is a good one. I was raised that way, but I am an atheist now. It does preach tolerance for all, and isn't stupid enough to think that gays are bad.

Try Satanism, agnostiscm, FLDS, some Angelican churches....God hates the sin not the sinner...the gospel is the same in real Christianity..or Judaism..Islam has a zero tolerance policy

Homosexuality is classified the same as idolatry, adultery and fornication by the way and the result is in Romans 1 and Revelation 22.
