Nowhere in the Bible is being gay defined as a sin.

I think that's true of the new testament, but I think the old would hold male on male gay sex as a sin (i.e. "soddemy"). The act, not the state of being. I don't think lesbianism is ever referred to.

But you're right. The entire point is that we all sin and we all ask for forgiveness. We should all be humble to god.

Of course, it's all bullshit, but it's also been corrupted so much that Christians don't even live by the lessons.
