What is your opinion of homosexuality and trans people?

Sorry if someone has already asked this, I can't really be bothered going back a few pages.

I believe that homosexuality and transgender is a sin. However, I think it is entirely wrong for Christians to hate and shame LGBT people for this. Yes, it is a sin, but I am a sinner too. We all need the forgiveness of Christ Jesus. Really, when I meet LGBT people, I don't try to make them change. I show them that I care for them as they are, though am clear that I don't think it is right. Its not my job to convict people of their sin. I'll leave that to the Holy Spirit. If I were to hate homosexuals and transponder people, I'd have to hate liars, cheaters, those who are greedy, those who are selfish... I don't have time for so much hate. And I'd have no friends. And I'd be a huge hypocrite.

I appreciate the thought you've put into this but I have to wonder how you would regard LGBT if the sin was your own?  Could you abide your own nature and still find a place in the church?  If not, your stance toward that community isn't really so different than the status quo in the leadership of churches today.
