Can you Be GAY AND CHRISTIAN!?!?

GOD LOVES GAYS AND LESBIANS. HE MAKES LOTS OF THEM, AFTER ALL. THE BIBLE DOESN'T CONDEMN HOMOSEXUALITY. MOST OF US CHRISTIANS BELIEVE IT DOES, BUT WE JUST GOT THAT PLAIN WRONG! Sexual orientation isn't a choice, it's a given. You can be a gay Christian and please God by being in a faithful, permanent, stable, loving relationship with your same-sex partner.  Homophobia is rampant in the Christian church and is not of God. Gays have much to contribute to the rich tapestry of the Christian family. We need to repent of our rejection of them and embrace those for whom Jesus died.
