She's right. Homosexuality (i.e. attraction to members of the same sex) is not a sin.

The sin is sodomy.

I suppose that is correct. I am attracted to sin. I may not ACT on that impulse and I SHOULD pray to have that inward desire removed.I may want to eat of the tree of Good and Evil but as long as I eschew I did not sin.

I could be wrong (it happens on rare occasions!!), but if I recall correctly, if you have sinned in your heart, it is counted against you as if you had done the sin in actuality. Jesus looks at what is in our hearts, and judges us accordingly.

I am sure that if I have gotten this piece of theology incorrect, someone will gently and diplomatically correct me!!

Most adults are probably guilty of sodomy. Not just homosexuals.

Yes -I watched the interview and she parsed her words well; however, she objectively did not take the opportunity to add in the portion you necessarily knew was required for completeness e.g. "the sin is sodomy" nor did she even hint at stating the objective reality that homosexuality is a disordered condition...
