Why do some churches allow homosexuality?

One opinion...

Some Churches allow Homosexuals not homosexual acts. Homosexuals are persons. They too are children of God and all churches regardless of its religious affiliations must embrace them. Homosexuality is a state or condition. When it is acted upon then it becomes a sin and the church should not condone it.

Another opinion...

Homosexuality in Church ... possibly controversial however in my opinion ... it's fine! God created you the way you are, Just because he created Adam and Eve, doesn't mean homosexuality is wrong ... Adam ate the Apple on the tree didn't he? Many religion now respect homosexuals for who they are, and only disagree of the sexual intentions ... but even the pope says being homosexual is insignificant in making a person who they are. I think people need to stop worrying about whether its justifiable or right to be homosexual and focus our aims on child soldiers, contraception, war ... urgent and important issues!! These petite debates serve no moral or beneficial resultants ... and that's coming from a gay guy!

Another opinion...

According to The Bible, all men are guilty of sin. Also, all sinners are equal when compared to God. Therefore, a person who performs homosexual acts (sin according to the Bible) are as guilty as everyone else. They're no worse and they're no better. The only reason that this is such a large debate is our culture. According to the Bible, lying is a sin. Does that mean that everyone who has ever lied should be kicked out of church? Of course not! Does that mean that you should beat up and devalue liars simply because they made a mistake? No! The same thing goes with homosexuals. Even though they might have done sinful acts, they are no worse than anyone else, and they need God's salvation no less than anyone else. A perfect church, if one such existed, would always allow homosexuals in, despite any protests that there might be.
