Just fyi Jesus never said anything about gay people. He said a lot about hateful people though. The definition of a sin is defined as a failure. Nowhere in the Bible is being gay defined as a sin. There are stories readers of lower processing power may interpret that way though. But that's like saying Romeo and Juliet was a story about the dangers of recreational drug use because they both ODed. Moving on everyone sins daily. It does not mean your damned to hell and anyone preaching that hasn't read the Bible. The entire point of Jesus dying on the cross is that if you accept and believe (you don't have to be a good person and follow his hippie teachings of love and kindness and compassion but hed love it if you did) that your sins are absolved in full. The entire purpose of the story of the two thieves (read bandits/murders being crucified with Jesus https://www.bibleodyssey.org/articles/crucifixion-in-the-roman-world/ ) is that one repents and is saved the other mocks being saved and isn't. Sincerely a guy who studied a lot of Christianity and was raised a Christian.
