Depends on what, if any, is the religion they follow.
Sin is a religious issue and has nothing to do with orientation.
Sins generally aren't good for you (it also depends on how you define sin), but it doesn't hurt to talk.
Sin is any thought, word, action, or omission against the laws of God or some other deity.
A sin tax is a tax on certain items like alcohol and cigarettes, which are regarded as not a necessity or luxuries.
Being a homosexual is not a sin itself. It is really being a practicing homosexual (One that finds love and follows his true nature) that is a sin. Being tempted to do something homosexual is not a sin either. Homosexuals have to resist their homosexual temptations just like a heterosexual has to resist their heterosexual temptations. The difference is, heterosexuals are allowed to lead happy, fulfilling lives, whereas gay people must lead lives of loneliness and depression, never knowing love of a spouse.Homosexuals aren't stripped of any privilage as long as they don't commit a mortal sin, this includes receiveing the Eucharist. So homosexuals are welcome to receive the eucharist as long as they didn't commit a mortal sin, such as finding love and getting married.
The Catholic Church has never thought that homosexuals are sins. Every human being is a child of God, and can never be considered a "sin". However, the Church teaches that homosexual behavior is a sin, but that is because people are using their free will to choose to pervert their God-given sexuality and use it for something for which it was not intended. Homosexuals, every bit as much as heterosexuals, are called to live in chastity for the Kingdom. Anytime we pervert our sexuality to use it for our own pleasure, and not in the way that God intended it, we are sinning, but that does NOT make people "sins."
Some religions believe since Adam and Eves sin in the garden of Eden, we, their offspring, now sin because of them. Many people hold different views and define sin in different ways. It becomes a matter of personal faith.
There have always been pedophiles and homosexuals, priests or otherwise. The Catholic priesthood doesn't have any higher occurrence of these than the general population, and actually by most counts the occurrence is much lower. People will sin, regardless of their position in life. There are pedophiles and homosexuals in every religion, race, etc. Furthermore, the Catholic Church doesn't consider homosexuality in and of itself to be a sin. Only homosexual acts are sinful, just as are contracepted sex, premarital or extramarital sex, and sexual relations of a priest.
"...Sin is the transgression of the law." (I John 3:4). "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? GOD FORBID! Nay, I had not known sin, but BY the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, THOU SHALT NOT COVET." (Rom.7:7) God's Ten Commandments define what sin is.
yes, because God will not want men and men to fall into the sin that goes with woman to. God wants every one to be saved and come into faith
First of all, there's no statistical relationship between sexual orientation and ethnicity. Second, different cultures define "homosexual" in different ways. In some cases, only receptive males are considered "homosexuals," so a man who has sex with other men but only inserts would not be counted as a homosexual.
it is the product of the crank pin effort (Ft) and the crank radius (r).it is denoted by T.T = Ft * rT = Fp * r (sin θ + sin 2θ / 2n)
In ancient Mesopotamia, homosexuals were excluded from daily society. Ducks were the typical companions of homosexuals. Therefore, ducks and homosexuals reproduced, and their offspring formed into the African American race.
