If you are unrepentant, no
Put your life, as it is, on the altar. He accepts you as he finds you. He doesn’t, however, leave you as he finds you. Let him lead, let him rearrange the furniture in your life to suit himself. Don’t tell him what the end product has to look like; let him surprise you.
Absolutely you can be gay and Christian as long as you recognize and repent of your sin. What you cannot be is in your face God approves of my sin and so should you gay and Christian. We all sin. Christians repent turn to Christ and start over again Sometime multiple times a day. What Christians do not do is pretend God approves of their sin
Translated: Can you be a sinner and be a Christian?
Only sinners should be allowed to come to Christ or become Christians.
We are all imperfect. The only perfect Christian was crucified long ago.
We are all tempted to sin. Christianity gives us an opportunity and tools to improve, and ultimately to be saved.

Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
You must stop gay acts and stay chaste. Dont encourage opportunities to linger on or lust for an attractive same sex person. You must encourage others to do likewise.
But, yes, you can have gay attractions and be a practicing Christian.
I don’t think Jesus condems any sinners. I see no difference in Homosexuality and any other sin. I spend my time worring about my own salvation and not condeming others who are no worse than I for their sins. We all share faults as human beings!!!
Probably. You just can’t act on those urges - which would be a sin.
You can suffer from same-sex attraction and be a Christian if you deny its fulfillment.

I believe the key word is “active”. The Lord said to repent of your sins, and go and sin no more.
Christians are in active repentance at all times. Those who promote sin, without repentance, are not Christian.
Deny yourself, pick up my cross and follow me. To accept Christ is to repent your sins and live like him under the law and sin no more.
Yes, but you won’t STAY homosexual and Christian.
You may face temptation for the rest of your life, and may have to repent over and over, but in the end, the two are mutually exclusive.
He is the reason that I cannot stand the militant gays who are trying to cram their lifestyle down our kid's throats. It's a destructive lifestyle.
