Why do you feel that it is your job to point out what is and is not okay with God?  You are not the judge of  your fellow mankind.  We will all be judged by a higher power.  It makes me angry when judgemental, narrow-minded christians try to tell people how to live and who to love.  It is supposed to be a personal relationship that each of us has with God, so therefore worry about how you live your own life and the choices you make.  Frankly,  we don't need anyone to tell us whether or not our sex life will land us in hell or not.   Homosexuality is not a crime; it is a loving relationship between consenting adults.  However, it is barely tolerated by society (and sometimes not tolerated at all) and largely due to the lack of exposure many of us have to homosexuality.  We only imagine what it is like to be gay, but we don't know fully until someone close to us comes out of the closet.  Then we become exposed to it and become educated.  It is no different than heterosexual sex.  I know a lot of lesbian women that are in very healty, loving relationships.  And they are more committed to each other than most hetero couples I know.  The only difference is that this society does not legally recognize their marriage to each other.   There are a lot better things out there for christians to worry about than pointing out the sins of others.
