What religions accept or at least condone homosexuality?
I know all about how the Bible thinks it's a no no so don't go there. Don't wanna hear it.
What about other religions?
Update:Like I said Mike G, I could give a flyingfuck about the Bible.
I don't follow that religion or any for that matter.
I was just curious.
Thank you for everyone else who answered.
I will choose best answer in a few hours.

Wicca and other Earth based religions.
Universalist Unitarian church has no set creed and accepts all people for who they are!
You should understand that there is no religion that accepts the gay lifestyle except perhaps a few ancient pagan cults where you would find temple prostitution and the molestation of children etc..
There may be many modern religions that accept the gay lifestyle but you understand that they are all modern creations that are a response to the sexual revolution of the 1960's and beyond.
My point is you could start a religion where being gay is a religious rite but does that religion hold water? All the "great" religions view the gay lifestyle as a perversion of the natural/God given order.
This should be obvious for life itself gives testamony, you are alive because of a male/female relationship in fact all life exist because of the male/female relationship even plant life requires this. If being gay was what nature/God intended there would be no life and we would not be having this discussion. That should be the proof right there.
The fact is you know the truth yet you choose to reject it, that is why you do not want to hear what the Bible says because you have already chosen your sin over God. God still loves you and salvation is offered through Christ who gave Himself for you.
Some sects of the christian cult overlook it. It's all about niche marketing. Getting the gay dollar, so to speak.
These mind control cults are not the keepers of some great universal truth that only they can dispense. They seek only to control your mind, your body and most importantly (to the cult) your bank account. You are nothing more than a revenue stream to these mind control cults; a tool to be controlled and manipulated into a revenue stream to keep the cult's coffers full of treasure so that the cult leaders may live in relative comfort without ever having to do an honest day's work.
Lots of religions are starting to open their doors to homosexuality. You can find a non-denominational church that will accept you. Unity church's and possibly Unitarian churches will probably also accept you. But a lot of Christian religions are opening their doors to homosexuals. If you are looking in your area just google it. I'm sure you'll find an open loving church for you to join.
Religions that ignore what the Bible says.
Most Nordic/Germanic Heathens are very tolerant and believe that your sexuality is YOUR business and between you and your deities or lack thereof. We don't judge. It's not our place, nor is it the place of any other person of faith. If it were, they wouldn't need deities, would they?
As I understand it, the Native Americans were the first to openly accept gays, truly an inspiration considering what they have been though.
As to their faith I don't know enough to even comment on that one.
Unitarian Universalists (It is a Christian Protestant sect) openly welcomes everyone no matter what sexuality they are. You should research them.
In Animistic cultures all life is sacred. Homosexuals and or any individual that has overcome the norm are regarded and revered as special. :)
Practicing Shaman... quantum physics rocks.
Unitarian Universal accept it.
