Is being gay a sin?
<|assistant|>
Being gay is not a sin. The Catholic church's stance is that engaging in same-sex activity is a sin, but being attracted to someone of the same gender is not. The Bible never directly mentions homosexuality, so interpretations of whether it is a sin are based on other passages. The official position of the Catholic Church is that all persons, regardless of their sexual orientation, should be treated with respect and dignity.
