As a Christian, I can tell you that ALL humans are sinners - you, me, the president, the pope - everyone. Thanks to Jesus, all can be saved, whether they are tax collectors, lesbians, internet message board addicts or whatever.

And yes, a lesbian can be devout Christian and can be saved. Not saying it is easy. It never is. But totally worth it. If they tell you that you can't be saved, don't listen to them; they are wrong.
