I'd also add that many things that were written as "sin" can most often be attributed to the cultural norms of the day. But guess what: culture changes, as do norms, customs, ideas of morality, etc. It's inevitable.
Perhaps I should have qualified it by saying Christians denominations who believe fully in the Bible, and do not consider it subject to much, if any interpretation do not accept homosexuality as anything less than a sin. I am aware that there are plenty of Christians that believe abortion is OK, for example. And there are Christians who believe a wife should always submit to her husband, etc. In this day & age, it can be a real challenge to reconcile the Bible with modern society's views. So much of it comes down to faith.
Still, I'd be surprised if there are actual denominations that are truly Christian who consider homosexuality not a sin. This is not to say there aren't plenty who have accepted that Jesus Christ is our Saviour, yet believe it's also OK to be gay. I'm even aware there are some specific churches who have split away from their denomination over the "gay issue. But are they considered a denomination?
