Well hopefully you want to find a friend as opposed to fine him for being gay. And being gay is not a sin by the way, no matter what the bible bashers may tell you.
What kind of friend are you looking for? A one you already had, and lost touch with? Try www.friendsreunited.com.
Or a boyfriend maybe? Well, lots of different ways you can do that, you need to check out option available for you in the local community e.g. LGBT support group, clubs, etc.
Or just an actual friend? Again, try your local community.

Being gay is no more a sin than eating pork. Most Christians validate their consumption of pork and other "sins" of the Old Testament due to the death or Christ. His death forgave many of the things from the Old Testament and allowed people to not follow it's strict punishment like stoning a child for misbehaving and the like.
Don't ask me why most Christians can't offer the same relief to homosexuality. I think it is primarily the same as how the Bible has been used historically to condone slavery, the suppression of women's rights, and all sorts of other bigotry. If they can find a way to justify their hatred through their faith, they can sleep better at night.
As far as finding a friend, I don't know. Just keep looking, and good luck.

Actually, I been able to meet (in real life) a few different guys through various websites. Most sites have search tools that allow you to find users in a specific geographic location, age-group, etc. Then you can send a message to that person, and include a more direct means of communicating: email, IM, phone, etc. If you hit-it-off... you can then arrange to get together for a drink... see if you want to take it any further. If you like older guys, for example, you could look on the sugardaddies website; or try gay dot com.

I don't believe that being gay is sinning. I think that God made me this way and I will hold to that belief.
Go to www.godmademegay.com
This is some very good reading.
To have a friend, you have to be a friend. Get involved in community projects. To find a friend, you have to meet people, so get out there and socialize.

Since you asked if 'being gay really is a sin', the answer is yes. Sin is anything that goes against God's commands.
If you'll look in the Bible to 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 it says, "...do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God."
Mankind may tell you it's okay, as a matter of fact they will tell you if it feels good do it, or that it's a matter of personal preference. But that is man's way of making any sin 'okay'... But the fact is that what God says, He means. He doesn't command these things because He's a mean god, He gives us these rules because He loves us and He knows these things bring us to total ruin...

I don't believe it is a sin. I believe it is a worse sin to hide your true nature and not deal with it honestly. The best way to find friends is to participate in activities you like (not sexual) with other people. Then you will find people who enjoy the same things you will. Try joining various clubs without regard to whether they are "gay" clubs, but it can be hard if you are discriminated against in a "regular" club. Join your local LGBT support club (or find some friends on the 'net to start your own), and find some other activities you like. If you enjoy music, go to small local clubs to see bands (not big arenas where you get herded around and can't meet people). You might have to go to several shows before you can "get into the scene," but just be yourself and be friendly (not too friendly, but be prepared to chat - and listen). Art societies, book clubs, and garden clubs are typically more gay-friendly. Bars are not great for meeting people unless you go with a group of people you already know, since most people in bars are focused on getting drunk & getting laid.
The one thing to keep in mind is to not focus on finding a friend/lover - focus on being yourself and enjoying doing things that make you happy. People are attracted to others who are comfortable with themselves and seem contented. People who seem to be searching and desperate are a big turn-off.

Many religious people consider homosexual activity a sin.
You need to ask yourself what sort of stock religion holds in your life. Sin is an arbitrary word without meaning in a life without religion.
To meet gay people, move to a gay Mecca like Seattle, San Fran, New York, Toronto, etc. Basically any big city will do.

In the bible it never really says it is a sin, it does say it is an abomination.

No, being gay is morally neutral, sin does not exist, and as to how to find someone, I suggest online dating or visiting appropriate venues such as gay bars.
