Put your life, as it is, on the altar. He accepts you as he finds you. He doesn’t, however, leave you as he finds you. Let him lead, let him rearrange the furniture in your life to suit himself. Don’t tell him what the end product has to look like; let him surprise you.

Absolutely you can be gay and Christian as long as you recognize and repent of your sin. What you cannot be is in your face God approves of my sin and so should you gay and Christian. We all sin. Christians repent turn to Christ and start over again Sometime multiple times a day. What Christians do not do is pretend God approves of their sin

Only sinners should be allowed to come to Christ or become Christians.

We are all imperfect. The only perfect Christian was crucified long ago.

We are all tempted to sin. Christianity gives us an opportunity and tools to improve, and ultimately to be saved.

“Gay” is a behavior, Not a state of mind. Now I will admit that behaviors define us, but it is still a behavior.

Can you be a drunk and a Christian?
Can you be a fornicator and a Christian?
Can you cheat on your wife and be a Christian?

Etc.....................

Can one be a sinner and be Christian? Most of us know the answer to that one.

Can you be having pre-marital sex and be Christian? Can you watch R rated movies and be Christian? Can you break the speed limit and be Christian?

i.e. can you sin and be Christian?

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NASB, with emphasis)

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,

nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

You must stop gay acts and stay chaste. Don’t encourage opportunities to linger on or lust for an attractive same sex person. You must encourage others to do likewise.

But, yes, you can have gay attractions and be a practicing Christian.

I don’t think Jesus condems any sinners. I see no difference in Homosexuality and any other sin. I spend my time worring about my own salvation and not condeming others who are no worse than I for their sins. We all share faults as human beings!!!

Probably. You just can’t act on those urges - which would be a sin.

Depends on what is meant by "gay" and "Christian."

You can suffer from same-sex attraction and be a Christian if you deny its fulfillment.

Can you be an active thief and still a Christian?
Can you be an active murderer and still a Christian?
Can you be an active liar and still a Christian?
Can you be an active pedofile and still a Christian?
Can you be an active glutton and still a Christian?
Can you be an active alcoholic and still a Christian?

I believe the key word is “active”. The Lord said to repent of your sins, and go and sin no more.

Christians are in active repentance at all times. Those who promote sin, without repentance, are not Christian.

Deny yourself, pick up my cross and follow me. To accept Christ is to repent your sins and live like him under the law and sin no more.

Yes, but you won’t STAY homosexual and Christian.

You may face temptation for the rest of your life, and may have to repent over and over, but in the end, the two are mutually exclusive.

Yes. I had a cousin who was gay and at the same time loved the Lord. It was his inner demon that he struggled with every day. We all felt so bad for him, he really struggled and eventually died from an overdose of prescription meds. The meds were his way of dealing with his homosexual lifestyle, and the conflict of living a Christian life, he knew it was wrong and it made him so very depressed.

He is the reason that I cannot stand the militant gays who are trying to cram their lifestyle down our kid's throats. It's a destructive lifestyle.
