The bible was written by man, not God, and is based on their interpretation. The bible also says we are made in his image, so if thats true then God must be straight and gay and transgendered.
What was NOT put into the bibile? We dont know since its under lock and key or has been forgotten by time, or changed from translations over the years.
What gets me is "God" allows free will. Why allow that knowing his "people" might make choices "he" disagrees with?
If God wants perfect people, then he should have removed free will. Anything less than that, he has set people up for failure (to those who chose to beleive the bible is 100% accurate).

If Jesus can accept a prostitute, and lepers, and criminals... why can't we accept an actual homosexual? Let me tell you: your hate and detest for them is much more damaging to you than their lifestyle is to them.
And don't go quoting Mosaic Law like Leviticus. lol The Hebrew Bible keeps Christians in the dark ages.

I'm no believer, but I wouldn't want it any other way..... Nature just has a subtle way of rewarding us I suppose.
Even if human society thinks it otherwise...it's easy for me to realize that it's really their problem and not mine, because it's not as if I'm hurting anyone by being gay.

Yes it is a sin. No-one is born gay. Being gay is a choice.
The Bible is very clear on this matter both in the Old and New Testament.
When Adam and Eve brought sin into the world everyone has urges that is sinful, that is why if you have a relationship with Jesus Christ, He can help you overcome your sinful urges.
God loves all sinners and wants to save sinners from themselves but its your choice.
