In order for your sin to be forgiven, you have to recognize that it is wrong and ASK for forgiveness. Gays don't acknowledge that what they are doing is wrong, and they don't ask for forgiveness. Nuff said.

The blood covers the sins of anyone but they have to choose to apply it. Kind of like after working for two weeks, and the company issues you a check. If you never pick up, it doesn't do you any good.
When a person makes use of the blood, it has two affects. It brings forgiveness of old sins and it cleanses a person so they no longer desire to continue in that sin.
A Christian, by implication, is someone who has choosen to apply the blood to cover their sins. His old sins are forgiven, and he is being changed so that he no longer commits those sins.
A gay may or may not have done that. If he has not, it would do him no good. If he has, his old sins are forgiven and he would be changed so that he no longer commits the same sins.

God does not create a person with homosexual desires. The Bible tells us that a person becomes a homosexual because of sin (Romans 1:24-27), and ultimately because of their own choice. A person may be born with a greater susceptibility to homosexuality, just as people are born with a tendency to violence and other sins. That does not excuse the person choosing to sin by giving into their sinful desires. If a person is born with a greater susceptibility to anger / rage, does that make it right for then to give into those desires? Of course not! The same is true for homosexuality.
However, the Bible does not describe homosexuality as a “greater” sin than any other. All sin is offensive to God. Homosexuality is just one of the many things listed in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 that will keep a person from the kingdom of God. According to the Bible, God’s forgiveness is just as available to a homosexual as it is to an adulterer, idol worshipper, murderer, thief, etc. God also promises the strength for victory over sin, including homosexuality, to all those who will believe in Jesus Christ for their salvation (1 Corinthians 6:11; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

Who says it doesn't? There is only one
unpardonable sin, and the time isn't here yet for it to be possible to commit that one,
so if the person recognizes what they did as a sin, is sorry for it, has a change of heart, and asks for forgiveness, (this whole thing is called repentance) then the sin will be wiped off the slate.
But; if a person asks for forgiveness of the sin of homosexuality, but chooses to continue doing it, then all they do is mock God with their request for forgiveness.
It has to be true repentance, and the willingness to try to the best of the person's ability, not to do the sin again.
We all fall short, we mess up again quite often, but if we really are sincere about trying to do better, God will mark it approved. It just has to do with the true
heart of the individual. This is why we can't judge these things. God reads the heart, so there is no conning Him.
God would say "these people serve me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me".

Every one is using repent. Christ finished the work on the cross. John 19:30, His last words were "Tetelestai" in Greek, It is finished or complete. All SIN is paid for by the blood of Christ.
The problem is unbelief that HE is God. If you believe HE is God you're going to heaven. If not it's your choice. Who made
that idea that it didn't pay for gay peoples sin? Adultery and
gossip is sin too, lest we forget. If a person believes and continues in a sinful lifestyle be it homosexuality or adultery or
whatever and they never grow as Christians they will not have
any rewards in heaven. But they'll be perfectly happy!

God so loved the WORLD- that means everyone. Jesus died to cover all sins- however the person who does not accept Christ as their Savior for their sins are not covered by the blood- it is the choice of the people- gay or otherwise if they accept Christ or not-

Christ's blood does cover those gay people's sins who repent!
Christ's forgiving grace is not a free pass to sin as you wish, its a one time offer to those that seek him. Everyone sins!! EVERYONE!
Sex outside of marriage to a woman, no matter kind of sex it is, is the same kind of sin. Homosexual, heterosexual, bestiality...whatever!
I am just as guilty of this sin as any homosexual out there because I had sex before I got married.
Relax, Christ has you covered brother! Just repent and accept the life he has in store for you. You may screw up afterwards and fall back into sin, but we all do! Just be TRUELLY REPENTENT and he will forgive you!

It does, if the gay people are Christians. God forgives sin.period. Christs blood was spilled for all Christians. For God so loved the world, that whosoever believieth on him should not perish, but have ever lasting life. John 3:16. Whosoever, includes gay people.

The blood of Jesus took away my sins. The blood of animals covered sin. If gay people will repent and turn from their wicked ways and invite Jesus into their hearts the blood of Jesus will take away their sins also. We must repent, ask for forgiveness and turn from our wicked ways and Jesus will give us the free gift of eternal life. He'll give us the Holy Spirit who can take the sin out of our life. What the Holy Spirit begins in us; He is more than able to finish. The Holy Spirit purifies and refines us. He helps deliver us from our sinful ways. He delivered me from promiscuous sex and cigarette smoking just to name two.

For one, gay people are not homosexual. Gay people are persons who are happy and carefree.
Second, the blood washed sins away, not covers up persons sins.
Third, homosexuals like transsexuals, and heterosexuals need to be saved,
NOT
have their sins covered up.

If the "gay" person is christian than it does, sin is sin it is all the same, it is as much of a sin for a straight person to commit adultery, as it is for a "gay" person, it is best to put God first, not sex, I will pray for your struggle.
