Why is God homophobic?

Any reason? ๐Ÿ˜• I don't understand how love was taught in religion yet something like LGBT was considered a sin. What am I missing?

You must remember the origin and purpose of religion, not any particular religion but the history of the meaning of religion. Through out history religion has been used for 2 purposes, to explain things people don't understand and to control populations of people. You will have a hard time finding a religion that worships the sun god because we know exactly what the sun is and need no further explanation. Religions provide a cultural system of behaviors and practices, and holy ideas that create a societal organisation that keeps people in a continuing state of fear and compliance. The books explaining religion were written by men. Religion also teaches us that all those other religions are wrong but ours is right. Perhaps only men and the books they wrote on religion are homophobic.
