Most of my Christian friends believe being GLBT is not a sin. They are pretty well read on the various Biblical interpretations regarding sexuality, and have come to this conclusion.
It's my family that doesn't understand...and I've had two terrible experiences regarding this subject in which I did not come out, but I was threatened with being removed from our household for my ideas. I lied to my mother to avoid further hell. I'm hoping one day we'll be able to talk about it rationally. Until then, my partner and I our "out" to our friends, and not to our families - particularly mine. It's a hard place to have to exist, but it's worth it, because we're really happy.
I'm not Christian, so maybe my Christian friends are a little more "lenient" on me. I'm not sure. I am extremely religious/spiritual though. I identify as a Buddhist, though I kind of border on being Buddhist/Christian/Muslim... I'm not exactly sure what to label it. But only a few of my religious friends know that I am bisexual. Some of them think that it's a sin and yet, they're kind of "okay" with me being bisexual, or at least they don't talk about it. A few of my friends tell me it's a sickness and that it's unnatural. So I don't know what to tell you. Their reactions will vary.
gaychristian.net includes (or used to, anyways) a good number of people who consider themselves conservative Christians of various stripes but also identify as gay or bisexual. You can probably find some people with similar experiences to talk to there and get support from.
