No it doesn't, since abomination didn't exist in their vocabulary when the Bible was written either, nor does the context or original language indicate it's referring to our conception of homosexuality.

Being gay is not a behavior. Stop living in ignorance. Being gay refers to one's attractions, not how they act on them.

They have the nerve to say God hates gays.....well he's not very fond of your actions either. And for the record God doesn't hate anyone. People befriend adulterers and fornicators but shun gay people. Instead of shunning people why don't you show them the love of God instead. People need to stop judging and leave people alone and keep their mouths shut and let God deliver people in his time. God knows what he's doing!
Who said it is the worst? It is not the worst, it just happens to be the only one which people are trying to "de-sin". If someone created a movement the same size of the pro-gay movement to argue that stealing is not sin, then people would be talking about that too.

Repent of sexual immorality. Sex outside of marriage is sexual immorality and God will never recognize a Gay marriage, so once sex takes place in a gay relationship (Which it will), the act of sexual immorailty is now the sin you are guilty of.

Homosexual may not have been the word, but effeminate is and gays are very effeminate.1 Corinthians 6:9

King James Version (KJV)

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

God said to give you His message:

Isaiah 5:20
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

The original meaning of that word was weakling. Most gays are not effeminate, which proves how ignorant you are. There are tons of gays more masculine than most straight people.

G-d said to give you his message:

Matthew
7 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

That sounds exactly what fundamentalists do.

I guess they got god's message.

Or was it god's...?

Not all gay men are effeminate. Just like mot all hetero men are macho.
