Not only does He accept us, He created us. He knew us in our mothers' wombs.
The real question is does God accept homophobia? The answer is a resounding, "No!" Since it leads to harm and even violence against gay people, it conflicts with the Golden Rule which Christ told us is one of the most important commandments. People are not born homophobic, they choose to be homophobic. They can also choose to change and leave the sinful homophobic lifestyle.
EDIT: myonesimus refers us to 1 Corinthians 6:9. Notice how the list therein of those who will not inherit the Kingdom of God includes "revilers." How ironic that those who revile gay people are included in the very verse they use to justify homophobia.

No ! They must turn away from their sinfull lifestyle.Repent ! The Bible has much to say about this. God says It's an abomination for man to lay with man as with a woman and vice versa. It goes against nature.
God will except the person He created.
God didn't create us with things like this that cause confusion In the world or ourselves.Even animals know better than this. An electrician can't take two male electrical parts and make them work harmoniously when wiring a house.There's only one way to plug something In and that's with a female electrical part. Why do people think It would be acceptable In life ?
God Is not the author if confusion.

He created them after all, didn't He? If they're making a mistake then they should be forgiven just like children who don't know any better.
I answered a Q about this yesterday saying what who you do if your son became gay? What I said to this is that your son is you son and you love him for what he is; full stop. besides, how do some people say that God wants this or that or said this or that? Are they closer to God, have the spoken to Him? All that rattle makes no sense. What if it were part of God's plan to bring them now that the overpopulation of the Earth is becoming a problem, now that so many children are homeless and need a warm and safe home where to grow, now that we desperately need to learn about tolerance? Haven't they thought about that? I don't care if my son or daughter for that matter is gay and say is because I know people don't choose that but are born that way Otherwise take Freud out of his grave and argue with him. He said it was not an illness. I don't much about it to say Freud it right but I know my children are my children and feeling how they grow in my wife's womb, how they kick, how they call you dad, how they ask you to teach them, that is God himself manifested. Whatever they do when they grow up in the privacy of their bedrooms does not concern me, I'm not gonna be there. I'll teach them all the best I can and give them all I have so that they BECOME good people and this IS a decision. I think that's all that matters, that they are good to others and help the ones that need it. That they should love and not hate.

I believe that God loves everyone and there isn't anything that can seperate us from His love. That comes straight from the Bible.
We are all his children - it doesn't matter where we live, what religion we practice, or what our lifestyle is. God loves and is concerned about each one of us equally. If our earthly parents love us, how much more does our Heavenly father love us?
If any other Christian tells you otherwise, they are full of crap.
That said, anytime we sin (a sin is a sin - homosexuality is NOT the end all, be-all sin as some sanctamonious, homophobic Christians would have you believe - there are 10 others that made it into the "Top 10 Do Not Do" list, BTW) it disappoints God. But it doesn't make Him stop loving us. He always hangs in there for us. He's our "Big Daddy" and always has our back.

all things are made by God...so He accepted everything in the world....but only those who honor Him as GOD.....
Actually, it's not bad to be homosexuals....it's how such individuals do the right thing...in the eyes of God....

I would like to offer a scripture, something that none of my "contemporaries" have done. Please read 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 and decide for yourself what God's viewpoint is on homosexuality. Contrary to popular belief, God did NOT create homosexuals. Homosexuality is a product of genetics(which became imperfect/ flawed after Adam and Eve sinned) AND environment. But 1 Corinthians offers hope to those who once practiced that lifestyle, but were prompted to change, realizing that God did not, and does not approve of their actions. If one stops practicing homosexuality, repents of their sins, and makes a dedication to God through water baptism, God will accept them then, but not if they are still practicing homosexuality. myonesimus@yahoo.com

Well, on the theory, homosexuals are God's creation, in spite of the people who take a few cherry-picked, misinterpreted passages from the Bible and use them to justify their own petty bigotry.
"NO, Lesbian and Homos are anti creation, Anti God, Anti Christ,and Anti life." This type of statement is exactly akin to the way people used to talk about, e.g., African-Americans as if they were subhuman. It's the sleaziest kind of slander possible - and these people actually think they're showing how "religious" they are by saying this!
And by the way, "Hate the sin, love the sinner" is just a dodge. I'm gay, and when "Christians" tell me that I'll burn in hell forever unless I remain totally celibate, on the strength of a passage in Leviticus next to the one that condemns wearing two kinds of fabric, or a passage in Paul next to the one that orders women to shut up in church (that means you, "misty"), it doesn't really matter whether they say they hate my "sin" or just me. And I know it feels good to hate on some level, but it's amazing to me that these people think it's sanctioned by Jesus. That's just how lost THEY are.

Homosexuals as people are made in the image of God, as we all are. We are all sinners and "fall short of the glory of God."
It's not about being "accepted" by God, but about salvation. God loves all of us and desires us to be in with him eternally. But when we reject him through sin, we turn our backs on him.
Homosexual sex is disordered, just as all sexual perversions are. It is the misuse of the sexuality God has given us, that mirrors his love for us.
The problems homosexuals are facing now, is that they are trying to justify a sin and make it okay. They may succeed in the secular realm, but in the spiritual realm it just cannot be. We can never justify any sin in the eyes of God. Sin is against God and clutters the narrow road we are traveling.
Jesus tells us to take up our cross and follow him. Think of the cross...a horrible, painful instrument of death...and we are to take it up. This means that following Christ is not a walk in the park, but dying to ourselves and our flesh. The suffering is caused by our seperation from God through our sin. So justifying that sin may make us 'feel better and suffer less" but this means that we have put down our cross and decided it's just too difficult.
Homosexuals, like all of us sinners, need to seek God first...in all things. Offer up their sin and suffering to him and ask to do his will. God will take care of them, he loves them the same as he loves all of us.

Are we speak in English now? ok
I don´t know, but I only know that he loves everyone. If a man doesn´t do anything for hurt anybody, I believe that God are in him.
There´s a life law, for woman and man, a couple of love.
But who knows what God thinks? who knows his desires?
Only the love is important, but we have to think about armony, nature and God of course. It´s so personal to talk about... best I´m going to close my mouth... Send you a kiss...

No... But there is good news. Through the blood of Christ you can be saved from eternal damnation by confessing your sin (homosexuality is a sin and a perversion)in front of man and believing that JESUS died on that cross for your sin, as truely there is only one sin ,disobedience to GOD"S word and he was raise from the dead,and to willfully try to be obedient to GOD. When the homosexual does this ,YES, he/she will be accepted. And YES GOD loves all of us and we do all fall short of his glory and we all are sinners. Only through JESUS CHRIST can we get into heaven. The very beginning of the bible says it all about the institution of marriage between a man and a woman.Genesis 2:24, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh" .. This was the first marriage, between a man and a woman,not man to man or woman to woman,such is GOD'S will... I hope this helps and I will pray for you that you seek JESUS...John 3:16 says "For GOD so loved the world he gave his one and only son,that whoever believes in him shall not perrish but have everlasting life" and John 3:17, "For GOD did not send his son into the world to condemn it but to save the world through him" ..."Him" being Jesus CHRIST...Please consider what I have said...May GOD bless you! GOD did not create the homosexual.. Satan was the creator of homosexuality.... It is immoral and sholld not be spread through the liberal media where our kids can see it.
