Although most people think that homosexuality is a sin, this is 100% false. Being a homosexual is not a choice and therefore not a sin. The act of having gay sex is a sin though, and so is gay marraige. Of course God loves homosexuals, and we all should too. Homosexuals should be loved and have just as many rights as heterosexuals, with the exception of having sex and getting married.

Homosexuality is definately a sin.
Rom. 1: 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
1 Cor. 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
This is solid and undeniable New Testament teaching. In the Old Testament it was even harsher... demanding the death penalty for those who engage in that sin along with those who engage in beastiality and other sexual sins. Under the New Testament law the death penalty may not be applicable because sinners are given the chance to repent... yet they MUST repent or they shall NOT inherit the kingdom of heaven.
Homophobia is not a sin... no more than abhoring adultery or murder. These is nothing wrong with hating sin. This does not mean we hate the sinner or persecute them... only that we are to try to persuade them from the errors of their ways. Those who really hate homosexuals are those who feed them lies and coddle them in their sins saying it is not a sin... those people are deceivers and cheat these people of their chance for salvation.
Some believe it is natural and they are born that way. All sin is natural and we are all born to sin. A Christian must learn of the right way and yield to the leadings of the Holy Spirit and repent of these sins or he cannot be saved.
1 Cor. 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Many 1000s of homosexuals have come to know the truth and repented and now lead perfectly heterosexual lives and are comfortable with it. The big lie out there is that homosexuals cannot change and that Christians hate them. True Christians do not hate homosexuals nor do they seek to persecute them. They show them love by trying to help them overcome this sinful addiction. Child molestors say they can't help it and often keep repeating the crime even knowing they will eventually get caught. It is an addiction that is hard to overcome but it can be overcome. Am I a molestor-phobe just because I do not accept child molestation? Shall we ordain priests and let them lead churches just because they can't help (supposedly) from molesting children? I can't imaging anybody accepting that!

No.
Created in the image of the one God and equally endowed with rational souls, all men have the same nature and the same origin. Redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ, all are called to participate in the same divine beatitude: all therefore enjoy an equal dignity.
The Catholic Church believes there is nothing sinful about being homosexual. But homosexuals like all unmarried people are called to celibacy.
The Church specifically says that homosexuals "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."
Here is the text of the document, On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons (1986): http://www.newadvent.org/library/docs_df86ho.htm
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 2357-2359: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2art6.htm#2357
With love in Christ.

No, homosexuality is not a sin, I know many people are homophobia but I'm a perfectly normal 13 year-old, yet even I can understand why people are gay. Love is not a gender, its an emotion. Even though my religion is not Christian, I know that Christians have a code or belief that goes, "Treat others the way you want to be treated." Would you like to be shunned just because you love someone? Can a human being actually control love? Can we actually say "no, I won't love him/her because they're the same sex"? That's impossible, even scientists don't know everything about humans, they may know scientifically, but science can only take you so far. We aren't machines, we're living, breathing humans. We have times we surprise many people, including ourselves about many matters, especially when it comes to the heart. You can't control your heart when you fall in love, you just fall in love. i can't find words to describe it but you know when you're in love, you may try denying it, but you just can't. Many people try denying the fact that they;re in love with people of the same sex because they fear those close to them will despise them, but I'd like to say this, don't be. Just because they're narrow-minded doesn't mean you have to deny your own heart.

Being a homosexual is not a sin.
Having sex outside of marriage is a sin for all people, no matter what your sexual orientation is.

"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 1Cor 6:9,10
"God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator— who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done." Rom 1:24-28
Jude 1:7 "In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire."
Heb 13:4 "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral."
Furthermore Jesus said concerning marriage "at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’" of which he took as a precedent for marriage

Yes He does, like any other sin, it's a sin. And God bless those sinners who trust Him. I'm BI, and I am saved, it shouldn't stop anybody from being saved. All you have to do is trust Him through Jesus Christ. It has nothing to do with being 'sinless'.

Yes its a sin, People of AD and Thamud where removed from the earth for such sin. The only reason they are not removed is because of the Mercy given by Allah SWT to Muhammed SAW asking him not to remove his family from the earth and we are all the family of Muhammed SAW. Those who call and those who need to be called.
