It's not a sin. The Bible NEVER clearly states homosexuality as being a sin, period.
Lev. 18:22 used to forbid anal sex for pagan rituals, not homosexuality as a whole.
Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for their greed, inhospitality, pride, shunning of the poor, and of course angel rape. (Ezekiel 16, Matthew 10:11-15, Luke 10: 8-12, Jeremiah 23:14, Zephaniah 2:4-11) The Bible NEVER refers to homosexuality when referring to Sodom and Gomorrah.
In Romans and in Jude, there is an admonishment for "unnatural sex", sexual immorality, people going after "strange flesh" (Jude 1:7,) which at the time meant a lot of things; women on top, sex with slaves, sex between the social classes. There was no specific reference to homosexuality.
Since the word homosexual(ity) wasn't coined until the late 1800s, if you see it in a Bible, it is a mistranslation.
Hey are you a practicing shrimp-eater by any chance? (Leviticus 11:10)

I hope your question was asked as a joke.
Cuz anyone with a brain knows you can't say anything to make a gay person change.
Not to mention it's none of your fracking business.
Unless, of course, he is practicing his homosexuality in your bed, or while you are there. If this is the case then you have the right to say, "At least change the sheets when you're done" or "Can you guys keep it down? I'm trying to memorize Luke!"
But seriously. If you have that big a problem about it, move.

Nothing. Practice makes perfect! And besides, I'm sure he's heard it all before. (Trust me, we all have.)
On the other hand, if you wanted to change your own "sinful" ways of assuming you are morally superior to everyone else, maybe you could take the time to actually understand your roommate and see him as more than a "practicing homosexual."

First of all it is non of your business what your roommates preferences are, maybe to you it's sinful to him it's normal. Get a life of your own and stop putting your nose where it does not belong. Do you want him to change you from a hetorsexual to a homosexual? I think not, then you shouldn't have to change him either, Your making me really mad. I'm not homosexual but I have a vey open mind towards people who are. we are all people and accep and respect others the way to want to be.

i asked my youth pastor about that to. He told me that its not the homosexual things its more than that. just don't focus on one sin but them all. The way you treat a person really reflects on u as a person and if ur really religous you have to pray to god that he changes his ways. God loves people wether a not there GAY. god knows whats in there heart and he knows whats best for him. I have a homosexual friend and i love him too death. i can not judge him hes a great person. you dont know if some thing in his past may have made him turn to the same sex so try and be understanding

you can't practice to be a homo, you either are or you aren't. You cant change people and its wrong to ask him to change just because you feel uncomfortable with his sexuality. I know he feels uncomfortable around you because he can't be himself, would you change? The only thing you can do that will help him is to be more accepting, you may not like his lifestyle, but start judging him for him personality, not his sexual orientation.
I'm sure u sin all the time. Like eating animal fat, which is in bacon, or eating shellfish or medium rare steak. there are over 300 abominations for heteros and only a few for queers.

Say that you're sorry for being such a close minded "friend" and that if you were truly Christian, you'd find peace with his choice of life style. Then go on to say how very ashamed you are for passing judgement on one of Gods creations, that such tasks are reserved for him alone. Finally, beg your roommate to forgive you; forgive you for failing to see what a truly beautiful person he is, regardless of the useless and negative propaganda that has infected you're pious and narrow-minded little head.
People like you make me loose faith in all that is good about humanity!

nothing.
And I am a Christian who disapproves of homosexuality.
I think you need to earn the right to say anything to him. And I doubt that you have done that. If you reach a point of friendship with him where you can both discuss these things openly without feelings being hurt on either side, and where you know he will appreciate you and respect you even when you disagree with him, because you will have won that respect, then say whatever your heart tells you to.

Can you help lusting after a beautiful girl that goes by? Can you?
He can't help the way he is. It is human nature. Some are honest about it, others are afraid to be.
Fact is, you will turn your head if you catch some beautiful lady go by. You know you will. He can't be changed. Unless God is real?
That is the only way I know, but is God real?

You shouldn't try to change him. Perhaps the answer is getting another roommate (one without "sinful" ways).
