Discussion: Can you be gay and still be devoted to a religion?

Of course. I'm devoted.
Seriously though, of course you can. Most religions are supposed to promote peace and love, and (at least with Christianity), many of the "problematic" (or simply inconvenient) bits are ignored anyways. You probably can't be a fundamentalist if you're gay, but I mean... you can barely be anything other than a straight white man if you're a fundamentalist.

Well, for example, Christianity has zero problems with homosexuality per se if you don't misinterpret the bible. So it's not being a hypocrite.

But really who are you, a complete outsider, to decide whether someone gay can have a religion or not.
This site is disgusting sometimes.

Yep!
I mean there are millions of muslims who smoke, do drugs, drink alcohol and do lots of other stuff that is actually forbidden. Why should I leave my religion for something I can't control?

Anyone that is a homosexual and doesn't repent to GOD and chooses to continue in that lifestyle, as of today, is going to hell. It doesn't matter what "religion" allows you to be one. You can only get to heaven if you have Jesus as your Lord, and you ask him to change your life around. Even if you're not gay, if we don't have a relationship with God, we can't make it to heaven.

I don't know, its a tricky one, on one hand you know you will always be gay and you would think the person who created you is meant to be all knowing and would accept you, but on the other hand you have verses from the one who created you telling you that you just be killed because of being true to yourself. It's hard i guess

You cannot be a child of God and stay a homosexual though, because it's not God's order. So no. The "God hates f*gs" thing is a lie from the pits of hell though. God love ALL of us and wants us to be free from our sins so that we don't perish. And you must read your bible to renew your mind, and pray for God to give you understanding and wisdom before you read it.

I guess if you make up for it by doing other good things All-llah will forgive you.
Only He knows.

Christianity was stolen from the Pagans. There is no such thing as a "true" religion. Each borrows elements from the others. So, if you want to believe in your religion and it makes you feel good, go for it.

All they want to see and hear is the homophobic mess that bigots spew in the name of religion.
In all honesty the only hypocrites is some the gays who judge religious gays judging those who believe in something.
Just do you and go about your day.
