Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil…

If this was "the Church" it would be calling them as well as all unregenerate souls to repentance, not asking for forgiveness...

They unregenerate need to ask forgiveness from the God that Created them, not the other way around.

Pope says Church should ask forgiveness from gays: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-pope-church-idUSKCN0ZC12E?il=0

Many so-called 'Christian' churches and leaders are coming out saying homosexuality is not a sin. This article points out that "The (Catholic) Church teaches that homosexual tendencies are not sinful but homosexual acts are".

The Bible teaches that not only is the act a sin but that sin is sin even if it just stays in one's mind. See Matthew 5:21-22 and 27-28 and many other places where this is made clear, sin is sin even if it is just in the mind...

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21

Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.  When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezekiel 3:17-21

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:3

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Matthew 5:21-22

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:27-28
