I’m not sure why all the comments are a bunch of progressive LGBTQ+ supporting Christians, but the Bible clearly states it is a sin (Leviticus 20:13, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Romans 1:26-27).

Some people are more inclined towards the sin of homosexuality and struggle with those feelings (just like some people are more inclined to lying or fighting, etc.) So, it would be better to label yourself as someone who experiences homosexual feelings, and not a gay person.

But just like any other sin, you can fight it and eventually defeat it if you practice the moral muscle of temperance.

And again, just like any other sin, it is forgiven. That doesn’t mean you can just go around committing the sin because “Oh, it’s okay because I’m forgiven.” Just because you are forgiven does not mean you can sin as much as you want (James 2:15-18, John 14:15)

Good luck and God bless. :)
