I see it all the time, homosexuality is not wrong but engaging in homosexual acts is wrong.
I say that is just more homophobic garbage.
Would you straight Christians like to be forced to not engage in sexual relations with a person you are sexually attracted to?
Please refrain from using the bible as justification to spread hate and ignorance please.

The Catholic church thinks that is IS a sin to engage in sexual relations except for procreation!!! I don't think they are right about that but I'm not positive they are wrong!
Why did you use the word "forced"...as far as I know, no one (in the US at least) is forced not to have sexual relations with any other person (as long as both parties are consenting adults). I'm not aware of any unified "force" being used to prevent homesexuals from having relations with anyone they find sexually attractive!
It isn't force to say that certain types of sexual behavior are sinful...and it is hardly homophobic garbage to suggest that engaging in homosexual activity can have negative consequences. Many of those consequences are the same ones experienced by people that choose to engage in heterosexual activity outside of a committed marriage (e.g, STD's, psychological damage)...and a few are unique to homosexuality.
I do think it is wrong to use the bible to spread hate and ignorance...the message of the bible is love. It isn't hate to point out that someone may be hurting him or herself...in fact, I'd argue that it is an act of love to warn people about dangerous activities. It isn't ignorant to suggest that the choice to engage in homosexual activity can have negative consequences...in fact, I'd argue that is it ignorant to say that it doesn't given the bulk of research to the contrary.

You bring up the topics of sin and Christianity then forbid the use of the Bible to explain?
I will therefore just explain that there is a purpose to the powers of procreation that goes beyond satisfying urges. Heavenly Father provided us all with the opportunity to learn and grow. To achieve the fullness of His Gospel, men and women need to learn of each other. To love, nurture, comfort and understand someone who complements, but is unlike us. And when life is over, we may remained sealed for eternity to a rightous spouse.

Isn't everything a sin somewhere in the bible? Surely in all the contradictions of religion there must be a part that gives the green light to being gay. What about all the boy raping that goes on within the ranks of the god-squad, is it only gay if you snuggle afterwards & shag consenting adults?

over the previous few many years, international extensive, perceptions have replaced with reference to constancy in marriage. some married human beings have faith that there is not something incorrect with an affair, a renowned euphemism for adultery, exceedingly if the different significant different knows and accepts it. “the international has almost abandoned any severe attempt to stay by potential of a ethical code. Chaste habit has become considered as previous college.” renowned political, activities, and entertainment personalities brazenly violate the Bible’s standards of ethical habit, and such human beings stay lionized. there is almost no stigma related to any form of ethical wrongdoing or perversion. Chastity and integrity have seldom been valued in so-stated as severe society. Then, on the belief of ‘what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander,’ the loads shop on with that occasion and condone what God condemns. it truly is as Paul expressed it: “Having become previous all judgment of right and incorrect, they gave themselves over to loose habit to artwork uncleanness of each style with greediness.” God’s standards have not replaced. it truly is his place that cohabiting without the income of marriage is dwelling in fornication. Infidelity in marriage remains adultery. The apostle Paul stated for sure: “What! Do you not know that unrighteous persons won't inherit God’s kingdom? a million Corinthians 6:9-11. on the different hand, the fashionable international’s definition of immorality is so diluted that it does not journey God’s view. A dictionary defines “immoral” as “opposite to accepted morality.” at the instant’s “accepted morality,” which condones premarital and extramarital intercourse besides as homosexuality, is what the Bible condemns as immorality. sure, from the Biblical point of view, immorality is gross infringement of God’s ethical code. a million Corinthians 6:18. The Bible counsels: “permit marriage be honorable between all, and the marriage mattress be without defilement, for God will decide fornicators and adulterers.” (Hebrews 13:4) So, God is against sexual kinfolk outdoors of marriage. it is consistent with the reality that as quickly as offering the 1st guy with a mate, God confirmed that his will became for the two to grow to be “one flesh,” in an prolonged-lasting bond of union. some 4 thousand years later, God’s Son confirmed that his Father had not abandoned this standard. Matthew 19:4-6

Is it permissible here presently to reference the Bible condoning sexual conduct that is 'gay' (2 Samuel 1:26), or sex outside of marriage (Bathsheba's part in the 'affair' with David)?

NO...God made sex enjoyable. It is psychologically bonding. I don't think sex is just for procreation. I do think it is "special". I don't think it is healthy physically or emotionally to sleep around. I believe in monogamy. I have no problem with any monogamous couple ..straight or gay.
I am a Christian.

With out going in to why homosexuality is right or wrong.
The bible in Proverbs 5:19 says may you be in eccasty with her constancly (refering to your wife). Note not when you want babies.

Fortunately, that Bible crap is only applicable to Christians. Everyone else is free to enjoy sex with any consenting adult they choose.
