[Jaishee]

based on the kind of upbringing I have,
Being gay is not a sin, it's not your fault why there are many female hormones than male hormones on your body.
But being gay will become a sin when you will practice HOMOSEXUALITY.

I just based this answer from the Bible, yet
I ain`t sure if this belief will stay long on my mind.

[Banned Bunny]

No one can explain why homosexuality exist, some say it was cursed,scientifically explain this is abnormality of what we called genes, but Im strongly believe being homosexual is not a SIN. The Bible condemns all humanity as guilty, dirty, rotten, hell-deserving sinners , we are all sinners wether you are homosexual or not. However, as long as you OBEY God you are not sinners .Just considered this as challenge on you. thank you

[Jess Destiny]

I think homosexuality is not a sin, but an alternate lifestyle. But when it is used to corrupt, for prurient or exploitative purposes or selfish reasons, that's when sin is committed. It just happens and besides, they are still humans with love and respect to the lord thy God.

[qwerty1234]

DEFINITELY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN BECAUSE IT IS A GIFT FROM THE GODS THAT MAKE THE WORLD HAPPIER AND MORE INTERESTING. I BELIEVE THAT HOMOPHOBIA IS THE ONE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SIN.

HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A SIN. HOMOPHOBIA IS.

[emjae18]

I thought they were able to get away with that. It's not a sin to wear mixed fabrics if you ARE homosexual, right? (I'm not, just sayin')

[XAMURAI]

If homosexuality is a sin, then what's heaven for?

[Zeus..!]

A homosexual is NOT a sinner because he/she is not DELIBERATELY choosing to be or not .They are eventually humans whose the-same-sex emotional needs hadn,t been fulfilled, therefore SEXUALIZED.Some were either sexually abused or allured into against-the-nature flesh desires. What,s mutual between them, is that they make families with LOVE, not by blood.In different cases,homosexuality is best answered by the one LIVING it, not making theories about it.

[PrinceNomad]

When something is there with you since your birth, I believe no one has the right to call it as a sin. So I do not consider homosexuality as a sin but there are some people (both straight and homosexuals) who exploit, harass and abuses people for their own physical satisfaction, I take such activities as a sin. And I think instead of debating on whether to take homosexuality as a sin, the community should rather utilize the time in implementing strong laws and punishment against those who are engaged in inappropriate actions like bullying, exploiting and rape.

[annyeong!~]

One's sexual orientation is hard to overcome in any religion. But as I see it a sin is an immoral act that goes against the laws of mankind. Even though it is shunned upon in most religions, I don't see it listed in the ten commandments. Seeing that being a homosexual is a personal choice it has done nothing to alter the course of mankind, thus it is not a sin.

[Neto]

Only my belief of course...."NO"
What people do with their sexuality and behind closed doors is their business and theirs alone. It is not for others to judge.

[GODFREY]

God can accept us on what we are and on what we are not. So I don't think homosexuality is a sin.

[Yuffie]

As for me homosexuality is not a sin. Having a different sexual preference does not make one any less of a person. And as human beings we are all given the chance on how we want to live our life and what we want to be.

What's more of a sin than killing citizens for territorial expansion or political gains?

[HiddenSpice Reborn]

If homosexuality is a sin, then I therefore conclude that God is a sinner (which is impossible).
It was him who created the concept of homosexuality for some reason not anybody else.

[Susie Minaj]

The question assumes that homosexuality is a choice. If homosexuality is a choice why would people choose to be discriminated against, bullied and be called sinners when they can always choose to be otherwise? No, being gay is not a sin.

[silentheart]

i believe homosexuality is not a sin, just like any other sexual preference (e.g. boy, girl, man, woman, children, etc ) and when the time comes that we are facing our GOD, we are being ask for what we do as a person but not being who you are. so homosexuality is not a sin, its a gift for those people who are chosen to be a homosexual.

[wilsonboy]

I cannot answer your question. I am not God. I am in no position to judge sin and neither is any person on this Earth. My belief on the matter is as irrelevant as anybody's.We all have a conscience to guide us and in the end we only answer to God.

[DylanWayne]

"No".If it is a sin they why do we exist then? Everything happens for a reason and only God knows why we exist. God made everything perfect and there's no reason why we aren't. Lastly, God won't let us be imperfect all the time by being what we are.

[doremi_whereelse]

HOMOSEXUALITY per se is NOT a sin and it can never be one. It's the biases, closed mindedness, and discriminations sorrounding it makes one the SINNER. If the self professed religous themselves regard homosexuality as a sin and so be it we can't please everybody anyway. We can't demand R-E-S-P-E-C-T let us just strive hard to EARN it along the way. For the meantime Let us just celebrate beauty of life and sing and dance with Lady Gaga..."I'm beautiful in my way 'Cause GOD makes no mistakes I'm on the right track, baby I was BORN THIS WAY!

[Ric Galvez]

I do think that it would not be a sin but I can understand that people could be a little apprehensive to take that road because there is a tradition of heterosexuality but today there are so many people out there who have a need to have a happier life. I do accept that because i believe every country should be a free country.

[phil]

Gay means happy and being happy in its truest form is a gift from God himself. And if its a gift from God how can it be a sin.

[LADY WINTER]

Sinning knows no religion nor sexuality. The Bible posted 6 warnings to homo-acts while 362 warnings to hetero-acts. It seems that heteros need more guidance than homos about sinning. The problem lies on the focus of inflicting guilt and bigotry when people have no other reason for disliking homosexuality other than 'personal' issue.

I like milk over coffee, vegetable over red meat - I'm quite certain some people do not share my preferences but doesn't make my preferences sinful. This is what is wrong about religion and sinning - it divides people by depriving guilt-free sharing of love.

[Mr. University 1997]

Homosexuality is not a sin. It is a way of life. A reflection of one's perception in life, desires and aspirations. To some it may be taboo, but to others who have the openess to change and difference it is an open acceptance to a norm which is still in its budding stage. Like in any form of Mental Sexuality and preferrence it has its own ups and downs. And when people are not careful it does have its repurcussions. Many a times people who are in this social group are scorned, insulted and maligned. This is due to age old perceptions of only having two major groups- Men and Women. But things change, and this we must accept. Homosexuality is an inevitable transformation in our society and must be treated with respect. Men, Women and Homosexuals must interrelate and co-exist to usher forth a better appreciation of life, of friendship and relationships. It maybe yet difficult to comprehend but in the end it will and one day we will see a more unified world ahead of us. As the saying goes- the only permanent thing in the world is change.

[OMA]

Well, according to several religious texts, it is. But according to those same texts allow marital rape, allow slavery, forbids divorces and premarital sex among many other things that are now seen as outlandish and as archaic religious laws that are outdated and no longer followed. Hopefully, society realizes that it should not be a sin to love a fellow brethren and that it is only a natural attraction that can't be helped and shouldn't be punished for just as a person shouldn't be punished for craving sleep, water or food.

[classique_mccoy]

Homosexuality is a way of living, a road less traveled and concealed in different ways. For me it was never a sin, but to some prejudice minds it might. It's one of the longest debate in the history of mankind, but nevertheless, still unresolved. The society isn't ready yet for homosexuality but homosexuality will always be a part of the society.

I believe god loves me. I don't have a boyfriend. Nobody loves me. But last night, I went to a GAY bath house, and I was thinking of GOD. I was silently praying asking God that I will have sex with someone nice. And God heard my prayer. I had sex with so many, I can not count anymore how many. Believe it or not, 2 of them were very good looking, nice round butts, nice bodies, and very handsome faces. Brad Pitt or Zac Efron are nothing compared to them, very good looking really. I was so lucky. Thank you GOD for hearing my prayer. At least those guys, those one night stands, gave me a feeling of being loved, despite having no boyfriend. So.....for me, Homosexuality......is/it's not a sin because God's answered my prayer.

Only my belief of course...."NO"
What people do with their sexuality and behind closed doors is their business and theirs alone. It is not for others to judge.

[frog_princess]

IF HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN, IT'S FOR GOD TO JUDGE AND FOR US HOMOSEXUALS TO FACE THE JUDGMENT.

[UNO - God of Beauty]

I dont think homosexuality is a sin at all. It is the bad things we do, be it we are straight, bi or gay, that makes it a sin and all wrong.

LOVING someone, and EXPRESSING that INTIMACY be it with the same sex is NEVER and will never be a sin.

Remember that there are things that the HEART feels yet the MIND failed to understand. In the end, it is the JUDGEMENTAL minds who will tag it as a sin but NEVER God.

Thank you!
