Repenting from homosexuality

Q: My best friend commited a major sin, he committed homosexuality. I told him that it’s a very big sin and Allah punished the people of Lut (alaihis salaam) for this sin. I told him that he needs to repent and turn back to Allah. My question is, does Allah forgive homosexuality?

A: If he is really sincere and he leaves out everything that is associated to this heinous filthy culture then Allah Ta`ala will forgive him.

We are not aware of this.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
