It's not just the religion that is the problem, it is also due to the attitudes of the people running that particular branch and the attitudes of the local residents.
There are many religious institutions that accept homosexual followers, they are just difficult to find.
Many religious institutions in Europe, particularly in the UK, are being ordered by their governments to allow homosexual followers, to accept homosexuals and not to discriminate them. They are also ordering religions to treat women equally (most religions are dominated by men).
It is a violation of the United Nations international Human Rights Act to discriminate or treat someone differently because of their sexuality. Nobody on the planet, not even religions, are above the law. If a religious institution rejects you due to your sexuality, you can then sue that institution for violating your human rights.
You are probably aware that the Christian church teaches people "god hates gays, gay is a sin" - in fact, and this has been confirmed by neutral bible studies, The Bible does not make one single mention of homosexuality at all. Therefore there is no proof that it is a "sin" in Christianity, making the whole thing just one big, narrow-minded opinion.
With that said:
If you are looking for a religion to join that is accepting of your sexuality, your best choice might be Buddhism.
Buddhists do not discriminate (those who do are not true Buddhists). Buddhists also understand that homosexuality is natural. Countries that are heavily influenced by Buddhism (Thailand, Japan, etc) are known to be generally welcoming to homosexuals and transgenders.
