Not a sin at all. It is perfectly acceptable to be who you choose to be and what you want to be. There is not enough love in this world and the more that we can spread, the more that we can give.

Here's something to put into perspective: Are you going to let go of love that you can engulf yourself in and not enjoy your life like you deserve to? Love is one thing that keeps a lot of us moving, why deprive yourself of it just because someone/something considers it to be a sin. Feel free to love as much as you want, it's one of the few things that define our humanity. Let's not limit it :)

no, being gay or lesbian is not a sin! sexuality is a unique part of who we are as an individual and our differences should be celebrated!

No. You are who you are and you should never be ashamed of that. Some people believe that it is a sin but that doesnt make it true

Hi! I'm an out and proud trans man who identifies as queer- and I'm going to seminary to become a pastor!
Short answer for your question: No. The Bible cannot mean now, what it didn't mean then.
Long answer: When the Bible was written Hebrew culture had no words or even a concept term for a consensual, loving relationship between two folx of the same gender or sex. Because they even lacked the term and concept when the Bible was written, it's impossible for the Bible to be used to honestly condemn LGBTQ+ folx in today's society.
In fact, many progressive biblical scholars believe that eunuchs in the bible could easily be pillars of light and hope for people in the transgender community today.

That's something you're going to have to decide for yourself. It will vary depending on the individual and faith. There are certainly religious groups that believe gay is a sin, and there are many who believe it is not. There are even some faiths that believe believe in god(s) and/or goddess(es) who love people of the same or multiple gender(s).

Being Gay, lesbian or bisexual is not a choice. You cannot change who you are. You are not doing anything wrong. There is no harm in not being heterosexual so I say no this is not a sin..in my eyes

People have struggled dearly with this question and I feel this is something that I am still considering or suggesting. But, based on the knowledge I have gathered from the Bible it’s self, I have came to a conclusion. People will specifically pull parts of the Bible out to prove their point. As an example the Bible says, “ You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.†as a member of the LGBTG+ Community, people will say ‘you’ll got to hell for being gay’ ‘lesbians don’t go to heaven’ ‘bisexuals will burn in hell’ no. These accusations are wrong. My answer to this question is yes. Being gay, lesbian, and bisexual ect, is a sin. And I am sorry to say it. But you will not ‘burn in hell’. In fact there are many bisexual and gay Christians.

It depends on your beliefs. Some people will believe so. But I don't. If you have those feelings that is a perfectly normal thing to happen. Religions teach us to love each other and that we should be kind and caring. If you feel this way do not feel rejected, and do not reject those who feel this way. It is natural to have those feelings and you should not be afraid to be who you are.

I do not think anything is a sin unless you harm others or yourself. If love is as beautiful as it said in religion, then it cannot be sin just because of the gender of the person that you love. of course, that is only my personal opinion.
I dreamt about kissing someone of the same-sex, what does it mean ?
