I don't have anything personally against you.
I just understand that in the Bible it is a conduct that does not have God's approval.
You certainly have the right to choose for yourself what you accept as far as what you think is right.
We all stand or fall according to our choices.
Please don;t be offended, I think I also have the right to think that being gay is a choice whether you do or you do not.

You can be gay and a Christian despite what others may say. To be a Christian all you must do is accept that Christ is the true son of GOD and that he died for our sins. Sins that we all have. If you think the Bible is harder on homosexuality than other sexual sins then you should read 1 Cor. We all sin. Some say that being gay is an acceptance of sin and a decision to live in it. I say that so is every other predominant sin. Lying is also a sin everyone is bound to commit over and over again despite asking for forgiveness and being redeemed. The only difference is frequency. The entire point is that Jesus died as a sacrifice and this sacrifice was so powerful and absolute that ALL sins are forgiven of those who love and honor him. Christ followers are saved by the blood of the lamb. Sin cannot penetrate GOD's promise no matter what.

This is what their bible says.
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what it detestable. They must be put to death. -Leviticus20:13
Although many will argue the old testament is no longer valid. This has been their true position through out history despite what they like to say.
The truth is all religious believers are delusional. Their beliefs have lead the world into war. If you read their bible you will see their god is murderous, genocidal, anti-gay, pro-slavery, sexist, and oppressive.
The bible is what some Americans used as justification for slavery during the civil war.
Truth is god is imaginary. All religions are myths and lies based around astrological paganisms.
There is nothing wrong with homosexuality.
Religious believers are to delusional to see reality.
I'd like to add this...
A few days ago I asked a question in the gay section of yahoo answers. It was a question that I wanted an honest answer to. I actually was worried it might offend some people. To my surprise all I got was respect, open, honest answers. Yet when I ask good respectful questions of Christians or Muslims I get attacked.
I think that speaks for the character of the religious mindset.

Well, i dunno why some people are so prejudice when it comes to homosexuality. Yes, it's a sin, but so is being promiscuous, cheating, stealing, lying...
I think most people are prejudice against gay people because they are scared of the unfamiliar. It seems like all those other sins have been around since forever, but homosexuality is now becoming more popular and accepted [though homosexuality in a generation or 2 will end up just like those previously mentioned].
Personally, I don't go out of my way to get out of the way of homosexuality. I have gay friends, straight friends, bi friends, because they're all just people, ya know?

When God says that something is an abomination, I tend to take Him at His Word. Adultery and divorce are also serious sins, and He doesn't approve of them, either.
As far as not being open-minded about sex, that's a stereotype if ever I heard one. I have no problem at all with sex in the context of marriage: i.e., a man and a woman. That is the Biblical standard for marriage, and there's plenty of room for sexual expression within those parameters.
You're welcome to believe or do whatever you want. But if you expect God to change His mind about what He Himself has called an abomination, you are going to be in for one long wait.

The part of the New Testament that says a man shall not lay with a man is in reference to married men cheating on their wives with men, thinking it's not adultery because it's a man. The Christian god was telling people that not matter what you sleep with, if it's not your wife, it's cheating.
Christians don't see this, or don't want to see this. They will say you can't take the Bible literally, but when it comes to this verse, it should be taken word for word. A majority of Christians pick and choose how they believe.
I have had many of pastors agree with me on what I have just said. Pastors of all denominations.

If anti-homosexual sentiment runs a bit strong, ask yourself this ... when was the last time you saw an Adulterers Pride parade marching down Main Street? Homosexuals have chosen to push their sin in the face of society, so they shouldn't complain when society pushes back.

You personally...nothing. God has shown us, through the Scriptures, that ANY sexual activity outside the bonds of marriage between a man and a woman is an abomination. It doesn't matter who or what you are having the sexual activity with.
Now, that being said...everyone is entitled to choose how they wish to live their lives. What I have a problem with is when someone is telling me that I have to accept and condone and bless their choices as being correct and right and best. Doesn't matter to me what the activity is. If you don't want my opinion...don't force the issue with me.
If you want me to respect your right to choose the path you wish to walk... you also need respect my choice to disagree with your choice. And stop calling me names just because I hurt your feelings with my disagreements. (using the universal you not the possessive you...). As long as everything is kept respectful...I have no problem with disagreements and discussions.

Some folks can't stand any others having sex for fun. It's sad and such a waste that their programming causes them to be this way.
Don't waste one second of your precious time worrying about what others think. Enjoy yourself instead, and be exactly who the divine created you to be.

You are a part of us , same like how we are part of you guys. We make essential components of this life ecosystem.
and gay-ism is relative. i always say this, if the world had only gays , and females, they would have treated gays as straight males, and males would have not existed.
its nature, and its built by gods orders. you are part of gods creating, and lord definitely loves his creation, else he wont enjoy his creation in creative sleep for time of many existence.
welcome to the reality, you have your place in the world of lord. just a bunch of people who cannot save themselves form sin and death, cannot dictate laws of nature isn't it. so don't allow this question linger in you anymore. no one can harm you without gods orders carried out by kala ( time )
