Hi everyone,
I'm a young teen, and I have been a Christian for most of my life. But I don't always feel like I'm meant to be a Christian.
I would like to mention that I'm lesbian, and I have known this for a long time. My church teaches that this is a sin and that being gay is a choice. But I certainly didn't choose to be this way.
They often say that people need to do what Jesus tells them to do, and they say that if you believe in Jesus, you will like the opposite sex. But I do believe in Jesus. . . .
People from my church sometimes talk about that verse from the Bible that condemns homosexuality. Yeah, I know. I read that several times when I was trying to become straight.
They also say that God hates gays. But I love God deeply and don't want to think that He hates me.
I don't think God hates anyone, not even people like me. He is all-forgiving and merciful. It doesn't make sense that he would hate.
I know it seems like I'm just saying my opinion. But I really want to find the truth. Does God really hate me? And is being gay really a sin?
Thank you for any advice! Please don't judge me. (link)

No, God doesn't hate you. He loves you.
I don't want to say whether being gay is a sin or not. It really depends on how you look at it or what you read in the Bible.
Either way, even if homosexuality is a sin, so is lying. Everybody lies but God still loves them. You're not a bad person if you do something wrong.
I'm not saying that being gay is a sin or not, that's up to you to decide. It's just, sin is sin and God won't hate you for it.
