Is being gay or lesbian or bisexual a sin?

Being queer is not a sin. From my understanding, love and genuine human connections are a much more integral part of religious doctrine than same-sex relations.

Only if you think love or equality is

Of course not. Who said that? I No one has the right to judge that being gay or lesbian is a sin. You are you and no one can judge your sexuality preferences.

This is a hard question to wrestle with. In my life, I am a Christian that is pansexual and I go by she/they. Not exactly easy for someone in that position. Depending on your religion and/or personal beliefs, this may or may not be a sin. Does it seem like a sin to you? It is okay to be any of these things, no matter what anyone thinks. It may be hard to acknowledge that you are not doing anything wrong, though. I hope that you can be yourself and express how you feel without feeling like you are doing something bad. Good luck, and take care.

No, of course not. It's important to know that just because someone's doing something we don't personally appreciate, that doesn't make it sinful.

Being gay or lesbian or bisexual is in no way a sin, or any other way of saying that something is wrong. The fact of the matter is that we cannot change how we feel about somebody in a way that will leave a lasting impact. That is to say, maybe we lose "crushes" over time, but we cannot change the way we love in the long run. And there is nothing wrong with that at all. It simply means that you feel differently from what other people feel, setting you apart from what's considered the "norm." And that is something to be cherished, embraced, and accepted, NEVER hated or reviled by. Never let anyone tell you otherwise, because you know that it's part of who you are.

The simple answer is NO! The bible never said it is a sin to be LGBTQ+. And even if being LGBTQIA+ was a sin, all people, regardless of their story, are deeply and unconditionally loved by God, each created with profound dignity and worth, not one more than another. This is more than mere religious happy talk — it’s truth whether one is gay, straight, or otherwise. But, all people are also stricken with a terminal illness: sin. Everyone. No exceptions and to the same degree. Our sin demands our repentance and needs forgiveness, and God’s love and grace are where we find both. This is basic Christianity and the great equalizer of all people.

No, there is nothing wrong with being lgbtq+! As others have stated, the verse(s) that claim it is are from a book that has been translated so many times, it isn't very accurate anymore. You are valid and worthwhile no matter what! As a Christian and member of lgbtq+, I can confidently say that being lgbtq+ won't send you to hell; in my belief, in fact, God loves us all no matter what, even when we do bad things. Remember this is just my belief though! So, being lgbtq+ is not a sin- you can't control whether you are or not.

This was a statement many had told me growing up and I was always confused till I realized that to be gay, lesbian or bisexual is not a sin. Your sexual orientation is core to your being and there is nothing wrong with loving someone regardless of their gender. Most religions emphasize love, compassion, acceptance etc., and hence these values should as well apply to homosexuals. Though it is important to note that interpretations of religious texts may differ on this matter due to historical and cultural variations. Embrace yourself confidently and seek communities that support who you are. Remember that you deserve love and respect for being yourself in addition to living genuinely that leads to happiness. Surround yourself with people who confirm your identity rather than those who have different judgmental notions about it.
