Explanation:
There has been no shortage of controversy as gay people assume increased roles as parents and married couples in our society, but almost nowhere has this conflict been more intense than in the church. Many religious leaders have condemned homosexuality, calling it a sin or even an abomination, but for millions of gay people around the world, there is nothing inherently sinful about their sexual preferences.

if were talking about the bible...
Sin as defined by...who, again?
You can't define anything by saying, "It's whatever God/Zeus/Odin/Charlie says it is." Well, not if you expect to be taken seriously, anyway.
When is an act a "sin", and why? Does someone have to be harmed? Is it enough that it offends someone?
Can you do better than this? “Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful - just stupid).” - Robert A. Heinlein
