sin or no sin, some people just wont tolerate homosexuality. that son has brought great shame to the parents. I feel sorry for them.

No and I agree with Ray everyone has their limit. We would need more info to even try to make a Judgment.
PS there is a reason he is a homosexual, and that might be the perants fault

Like Ray asked, how old is this "child," what prompted the action by the parents? Were overt "activities" being done in the home?
If you had a son or daughter 21 or 25 years old living in your house would you allow them to do whatever they pleased? Would different sex partners be allowed to spend nights? How about drug use, smoking crack or shooting heroin with friends in the basement be ok? How about a theft ring of unemployed friends storing their goods in the garage?
My point (and I believe Ray's as well) is that we don't have enough information even to make a suggestion.
Just my take,
Joe
No I doubt that would be the "only sin," alot would have to do with how blatent this sinning was and the age of the "sinner" I had previously listed just a few of them before your post, you must have missed them, I can think of even more that would lean me toward showing my grown child the door. Just not enough info on this particular situation to give a valid opinion.

Sure, i mean if the guy in question was a nightmare to live with, disobedient, drug taking, violent etc, then that would make a case for him being difficult to live with.
But i cant condone the kicking of out of a house of a relative just for being gay for God's sake.
Let him without sin cast the first stone.
This verse is never truer than when the issue of sexuality comes out (excuse the pun).
Its a shame to judge the poor guy. (by that, im not saying anyone here is judging him)
Jesus came to save sinners, not kick them out

Hi Zander, I don't mean to be arguementative but if this is an adult child having overt sexual encounters in his parents home they have no right to show him the door if he is defiant in obeying the rules of the house?
I don't believe homosexuality is in itself the worst sin one can commit (Ray & Mike both scripturally prove this), I would be with you if the child is a teen and is experiencing the incredible confusion and angst that can be part of adolescence, but even a teen would have to be discouraged and eventually put out if this activity were taking place in the home, with other minors, influencing siblings.
