Yes, no matter what anyone says. All you have to do is believe in Christ to be a "Christian". His works are not important.

WHY NOT???
Jesus never mentions homosexuality as a sin. He speaks lovingly about Sodom and Gomorrah. In fact, said that on the Day of Reckoning sodomites will fare better than the Jews! Dig this … Jesus will judge the world and is already saying the outcome of proceedings in the Holy Tribunal of Justice! No judge in the world is so sincere, or stupid!
Matthew 11:24 (NIV) But I say it will be more tolerable for Sodom on the Day of Reckoning, which for you. "*
(*) Jesus is proving to have more love and favoritism for homosexuals than for their own people the Jews! He also said that even prostitutes enter his Kingdom ahead of the Jews!
God the Son Jesus Christ * (* the future judge of the world) sees nothing wrong in Sodom except for the normal routine of everyday life … Note that Jesus is the only heir of the universe … The old God will start the cube and one day Jesus will take care of …
Luke 17:28-29 (NIV) "It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and construction. But the day Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all .* (* God the Son, Jesus Christ never mentioned homosexuality as a sin of Sodom, but living without worries! Nobody beats Jesus to judge anyone!)
There unfulfilled prophecies in the Old Testament about the full restoration of Sodom and Gomorrah on the situation they were just before their destruction!
Ezekiel 16:53, 55 (NIV) "However, * (* God) will restore the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters and Samaria and her daughters, and your luck with them … [55] and your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters return to what they were before, and you and your daughters back to what they were before.

Read Romans chapter one, then read, 1 John chapter one, then you tell me? Only you know if you read his word and hear what he tells you.

Homosexuality in thought and action is sin. God hates all sin and while we love the sinner. He is not willing that any should perish person, but all through repentance to come to faith in Jesus, whose sacrifice covers all sin. He hates sin because of what it does to us, because it separates us from God.
If for no other reason, because homosexuality is outside of marriage is sin and God does not recognize any gay marriage, always beyond their control. But more than this was never God's intention that our bodies perform such acts, his word is clear about this.
I personally believe that homosexual sin, but is clearly an "abomination" in God's eyes, has created a culture of hatred within the Christian community. We Christians have allowed this particular sin to bring us to a position of condemning judgments of others. We are all too easy to focus on the "stain" in the eyes of other people without taking into account the "table" in ours. In the final analysis, when opening the books, Christians will be judged according to the measure of trial that we were at the doors of others.
We Christians would do well to remember how Jesus handled the case of the prostitute, caught in the act of adultery when he said: "He who is without sin cast the first stone" and when anyone approached her CONDEM, Jesus CONDEM also denied his, but told him to go and sin no more. He hated sin no less depth of compassion he had for the sinner.
I also think the real problem is not necessarily homosexual sin is worse than any other sin, every evil that comes out of the swamp. No, the real problem is that many people have bought into the lie that this particular sin is not really sin. What makes this lie the more dangerous is the fact that "so-called tolerant society hetrosexual has also bought into the same lie.
I confess that I too am a sinner saved by God's grace. I confess that, as a Christian I am also guilty of voluntary sin hanging on trying to justify myself. As such, I am not able to throw the first stone, but even if he was sinless, like Jesus, by example, would clearly be a "Christ in me to lead a holy sin, hatred of the sinner.
In conclusion, (and through the preaching to myself) if you are a Christian (and you should know, but please make sure you know) and then the love I tell you that you must address the truth about his sin. If at least do this, then God will help you be free from slavery. If you are not sure that you have committed your life to Christ, then you can have both release from this bondage and salvation of this day to possess the truth, repenting of your sins and invite Jesus to become the Lord of his life here and now, as you are.

His choice of religion and gender preference have nothing to do with each other. As part however, the fan of all religions condemn him for being gay, why would you want to join one?

I think so. The books of the Bible rather than the animals are safe to eat, how to speak in tongues correctly and how to be a good slave-owner of what he says about homosexuality. Recognizing that the Bible can be a very good, very important tool for growth spritually but it does have some things wrong because they were written by individuals in a particular context at a particular point in history, then you can do no problem at all.
I do not think God is so concerned about what you do with your organs reproductve as "he" is about war, poverty, disease and the fact that the treatment of garbage, like the others.
By the way … if anyone is curious … the story of Sodom and Gomorrah was not about homosexuality, it was the violation of the laws of hospitality, which was a big problem before people invented hotels. How can we even see Lot as righteous when offered to give more of their daughters to be raped in their place?

It can not, homosexuality is a sin. While the Lord will forgive all sin, you have to turn from sin. If I were a prostitute, do you think could be a Christian, and still sell my body knowing it is a sin. Absolutely not. Sin is sin and an abomination to God.

The three very different belief systems, so there is no answer to your question … at least not without a thorough study of them all. Christians believe many different things when it comes to homosexuality.
If you are really interested in having a relationship with God, the first step is to accept Jesus in your life and begin a daily walk with him. Then, through prayer and study all your questions about what lifestyles are appropriate or not will be evident. This is something that has to work for yourself, with God instead of listening to a myriad of reasons that someone might give for why homosexuality is a sin.
Order the answer to the big question, "Where will I spend eternity" … That all the trivial things worldy look after himself.
