were does it say that its wrong
i love god i really do(catholic) but i just cant seem to picture that our god, this kind, loving, caring being, can put out certin people just beacause they are in love with the same gender.
loving the same gender isnt as bad as killing some one or even telling a lie.
i was taught that god loves everyone, but why not gays?

ok i cant help this but im almost in tears readin all this stuff in my bible.
im a VERY caring person and just the thought that these people, because of who they love, arent going to have eternal happiness with god, and instead damnation in hell is the most saddest thing i have heard. all this is making me picuture a nice loving father, who throws away a certin amount of his kids because they turned out wrong.
i just dont see how god could let this be

Homosexuality is condemned in the Bible. It is a sin. And He hates the sin (not the sinner) Should we teach against homosexuality? Yes. But always speaking the truth in love. And ultimately we don't know anybody's heart. God only does and He's the ultimate judge.
Read Rom 9:14 and following.
God decides who will join Him in Heaven. And that doesn't depend on our sins or our good deeds, since we all sin and - at least occasionaly - all do good deeds. Our salvation is dependant on our faith in Jesus. Does that mean we should keep on sinning? No, of course. But all of us will anyway, even if unwillingly. So it goes back to God again, and His judgement of our heart, and specifically on where our heart stands with Him.
I hope this helps..

Unlawful sexual relations are written in the bible and can be found in Leviticus 18:1-30.
And I will state this, it is not written that woman can not be with woman within that text, at least in the NIV version of the bible.
If god is a loving and supreme god who is without sin how could god not love gay people too? Just because you do not love the actions of a person does not mean you do not love the person.

He does love them. It isn't that He doesn't, it's that sin is sin. You can love the person, but not like what they are doing. Lev. 18:23 states it clearly. Jude 1:7 also talks about it, as do other scriptures.
As far as marriage goes, there are a few that talk about marriage being only for a man and a woman. Gen. 2:24 is one.
There are others too, so you might want to do a search to find them.
*EDIT*
God won't send someone to hell for that. They may not be in His presence, but it won't be fire and brimestone like everyone says. They didn't want to be with God during life, so God won't make them be with Him after.
I have known a lot of gay men. Most are very nice, and respectful to me about what I believe, and I am to them. There are only a select few that I have a problem with. I don't agree with the lifestyle, and I think it should be thrown in my face at every turn. That is my problem with it.

The person "me" is nice. in accordance with subjective opinion, the bible ought to motivate, condemn, or be detached to gay marriage. Like my opinion is that the bible is detached in direction of gay marriage, yet needless to say others see it yet in any different case.

God loves everyone and forgives sin if one repents. Would he forgive if he did not love us?
God does address homosexuality and it is a sinful thing (so is telling a lie or stealing) but can be forgiven if one stops changes their ways and asks for forgiveness.
Homosexuality is addressed in:
1 Corinthians 6:9
Romans 1:27
1 Timothy 10
Leviticus 18:22
Genesis 19:1-19

1. God states pretty clearly He will not accept certain lifestyles, including homosexuality
1 Corinthians 6:9 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 homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
2. Marriage defined: One man, one woman
Matthew 19:4 And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,' 5 "and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? 6 "So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."

Sodomy is a sin. God made marriage a picture of his love for us. His love is pure not based on sin.
Should we have a mass murderer theme park?
How about a pedophile priest restaurant?
You want to make sin acceptable. Sin is sin whether you accept it or not. God is clear in his book Rom 1:27. It is not natural.
IT IS A SIN. You either accept Gods law or reject it.
Jesus died on the cross for all sinners. But will not condone perverted use of his picture of marriage.

Why focus on the gender issue. The whole point is that Jesus died for all mankind as a substitute for the spiritual death we so deserve. Sin is sin. If one of that persuasion accepted Jesus as his/her personal savior, then the rest of that person's life belongs to God. You did your part by planting the seed and going forth with the gospel. Remember it is God who does the changes, not us.

God doesnt hate anyone. But He did set the laws about the Sacrament of Marriage.Have a problem with it God is the one you need to talk to
Genesis 2:23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, [k] '
for she was taken out of man."
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Matthew 19: 4"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'[a] 5and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'[b]? 6So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

in gods eyes all sin is the same, in mans eyes its different. He love the sinner not the sin. Even if we sit and kill somebody he still loves you.
God made adam, then he made eve for adam. He didnt put another adam and say here you choose..
