I'd like to see something Christ said on the subject.

Jesus said some are born gay. Here Jesus refers to "eunuchs who have been so from birth.". This terminology ("born eunuchs") was used in the ancient world to refer to homosexual men. Jesus indicates that being a "born eunuch" is a gift from God.

Matthew 19:10-12 10The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry." 11
Jesus replied,
"Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.
12For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others-and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."

Jesus is never quoted as saying anything again homosexuality, but then it is possible he may have been gay himself.

First of all, why should Jesus need to reiterate what was already the moral law against gay sex?
Second, do you even know who Jesus is in the Bible? Jesus is God in the Bible (numerous scriptures). As God, Jesus is the one who gave Moses the Leviticus law against gay sexual relations to begin with; and he’s the one who inspires all Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16), including prohibitions against gay sexual relations in Romans 1:26-27 and I Corinthians 6:9-10, etc.
It’s also worth noting that Jesus didn’t mention wife beating or other sins such as pedophilia either, and there are not many folks who would argue he approved of those behaviors. So Jesus was under no obligation to reiterate the moral laws against homosexual sin that already existed, unless there were clarifications to be made.

What's wrong with you?

Nice try. If you're buying into gay sex as a viable life style, then you're buying into a belief dating way back to the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.
And I seriously doubt God made gays. The last science I saw on how gayness comes about is via abnormal, prenatal endocrine influences in the womb.

So, God created pedophiles too?
I don't think so.Surprise, surprise! Maybe they think their version of god approves of that behaviour.
No... that isn't what the Biblical term means. No more than if I say I am going to mow the grass it means I am cutting down cannabis .

If they care about Biblical sin I'm sure they believe it is a sin, but then look around and see all the sins other Christians continue to commit and figure their sin is no worse.
And if they don't care about your Biblical sin, so what?

What about divorce and remarriage, is that a sin or do you agree with Pat Robertson that people shouldn't consider divorce and remarriage as a sin anymore?
People who think about it all the time also make the most anti - noise. Most folks don't think about it that much at all. I still think there is a very good psychology behind the idea that homophobes are often closet homosexuals. Repression does weird things to the mind.

It's not. Some people are bigoted douche nozzles because they are just bigoted douche nozzles.
