I might have been baptized, but I am not Christian.... if you are not a Christian, or don't believe the Bible, why is it important to you to try to make it sound like God and/or the Bible is /does not condemn homosexuality?
If you don't believe, it should be irrelevant to you.
Even if I were to accept, even for a moment that there was a god. To worship a god would be giving into collectivism, abandoning individualism, giving up my freedom of thought and behavior, as well as condoning a god's actions and intentions (even if I am opposed to them) - simply on the basis of a reward after death; or a punishment if I refuse to comply.
If and when death comes, I don't expect anything, especially not a reward or punishment.
The Bible calls homosexual sex and relationships an 'abomination', but there is no evidence it views homosexuality as worse than adulatory, or that love thy neighbor and so forth are trumped by someone participating in an 'abomination', and the same applies for someone with another faith or ideology.
It isn't irrelevant to me when religious people insist on taking a text literally, unless their religious text states something entirely different, and their certain interpretation could lead to discrimination or even bloodshed - as in the case of massacres and then a genocide of Jews.
It's about God, not about US (humans)
Unless you but into that, you should not be a Christian.
