From the responses to this question it is heart warming to find many people condemning homosexuality. The present situation is that the American government is trying to impose this evil on African countries by providing aid on the condition that they welcome homosexuality.
We therefore encourage more people to speak out against the act. Also there should be concerted efforts to rescue folks who have gone down that route
Thanks, I write from Lagos, Nigeria.

This shouldn't be such a contentious issue in the body of Christ. Homosexuality is wrong. It's wrong in the Old testament and it's wrong in the New Testament. Regardless of how nice these people seem to be, they are living in blatant and direct sin, and yes, homosexuality is worse than other sins for it violates many of God's commands, not just one. It violates God's command to procreate, it violates God's command against sodomy, and it violates God's command against men acting and dressing like women and vice-versa. It also goes against God's aversion against the effeminate man (and the butchy woman). Homosexuality, perverts God's roles in society, marriage and the church. Can you see why God hates this sin so much? Also, God hates the sinner as well. He hates the evil-doer who habitually sins against Him and refuses to change and conform to His standards. This is Scripture...this is truth.

I am not disagreeing with what others are saying. I want to add, that many
young adult homosexuals, if rejected by their families, commit suicide. If they haven't been born again, that is a terrible thing.
