re religion and homosexuality magarret magnus acs ohio state edu computer dudette writes i just recently realized that i am bisexual and also just recently returned to religion and have a good friend who has pointed out to me that homosexuality is a sin in the bible well i don t see how it could be considered a sin first of all as far as i know only male homosexuality is explicitly mentioned in the bibles so you re off the hook there i think in any event there are plenty of people in many denominations who do not consider a person s sexual identification of gay lesbian bisexual as an immoral lifestyle choice also i have always been a somewhat liberal feminist and am pro choice and it seems that being pro choice and being religious don t mix either i am told this is another misconception you are not being told the whole story my former minister is a lesbian and i know personally and professionally several openly gay and lesbian ministers i am a unitarian universalist and like most others in my denomination am pro choice you needn t go looking to the unitarian universalists which is a liberal religion for acceptance of your sexual identification and pro choice views however there are many of us who believe in spirituality and freedom of conscience good luck on your journey daniel o connell meadville lombard theological school university of chicago divinity school dsoconne uchicago edu
