Yes, he tells her to sin no more. Though I think if you reread the story you will find no hint of a request for forgiveness on her part (John 8). But the episode also surely shows that Jesus rejects inflicting the Old Testament penalty for adultery. Truedog seems to imply that the Old Testament penalty for homosexuality is still valid.

"Judgment" is just anathema in our society. The problem is without judgment we have an increasingly violent, immoral, lawless and godless society. JLA

I totally agree with what you say. I believe that forgiveness carries a moral price of no longer committing whatever sin a person is involved with. I realize that no person is perfect and will not always be sin free but, an honest effort not to sin should be a person's mission. If any homosexual would " sin no more" then that person has repented and will be forgiven. I guess I was concentrating on the sin but sounding like I was bashing the individual. That was not my intention. TD
