Christianity - Catholicism
In Roman Catholicism, being homosexual or gay alone is not wrong and not a sin. Catholicism views homosexuality as a tendency. However, this does not make it good to give into the tendency by doing homosexual acts. Homosexual acts are sins. Hommosexual marriages are a sin.
The Catholic faith teaches that homosexual acts goes against the loving meaning between a husband and a wife. The intimat actions between a husband and a wife should always leave open a chance of creating a new life. If the couple (man and woman) is infetil or past child bearing age, they are still allowed to marry. They aren't doing anything unnatural to stop life. For whatever reason, their bodies naturally can't produce a human being. however, homosexual acts could never lead to natural creation of life.
Catholicism is also against other acts that do not lead to procreation of life such as cooning, in vitro, mastubation, sex with animals, and so on. Homoacts aren't just singled out.
Being married in the eyes of the Catholic Church means to be open to creating life. That is nature and how God set things up Homosexual acts do not fit the marriage criterion so therefore Catholicism cannot accept homosexual ( same sex) marriages.
Catholics are advised not to be inolved in any form with homosexual marriages or the legalization of homosexual marriages.
