Would somebody be willing to give me verses that state that being a homosexual alone is a sin before I get the wrong ideas? Thank you!! :)
ah, i just noticed that the OP asked for verses.
Here are the ayat about homosexuality:
أَتَأْتُونَ الذُّكْرَانَ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ
وَتَذَرُونَ مَا خَلَقَ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَاجِكُم ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَادُونَ
Do you
approach males among the worlds.And leave what your Lord has created for you as mates? But you are a people transgressing.
[Ash-Shuara 165-166]
وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ
أَتَأْتُونَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّنَ الْعَالَمِينَ
إِنَّكُمْ
لَتَأْتُونَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ النِّسَاءِ ۚ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّسْرِفُونَ
And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you
approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people."
[Al-A'raf 80-81]
Notice the words used in Quran. You have to
come so that it will be counted as sin. This is easier if you understand arabic though.
Still, 'just imagining' things is forbidden, considered a sin but it is another story.
