God uses only one fact to judge the world and determine who is saved and who isn’t: faith in Jesus Christ.
When it comes to what we do and the way we’ve lived our lives, everybody stands condemned — whether they identify as gay or straight, liberal or conservative, religious or not. And everybody stands condemned, whether they are male or female, black or white, old or young.
But the good news is that God loves us in spite of our sin, and He sent His Son Jesus Christ to purchase our redemption.
Here at Focus on the Family, we take the view that there’s an important difference between homosexual feelings and desires and acting on those feelings and desires.
As with any sinful behavior, it’s not about being tempted, but about willfully engaging in activity that goes against God’s law.
So to answer the question: Can you be gay and a Christian? Yes– You can be a Christian and, at the same time, struggle with same-sex attraction. But no — you can’t be a faithful, obedient Christian while willingly involving yourself in homosexual acts.
