As salamu alaikum,
According to Islamic principle related to haram, it is that if something is prohibited, then anything that leads to it is also considered haram. A similar principle is that
the sin of haram is not limited to the person who engages in the prohibited activity, but the sin also extends to others who support the person in the activity, whether it be material or moral support.

You can find the link to the book here.
So, a person who commits a sin, and a person who encourages a sin, both are accountable. Hope, it clarifies what you asked.
Jazakallahu Khair

Maybe this is a stupid question, but is it prohibited for everyone, or just Muslims? Jan 6, 2015 at 8:34

Islam is for everyone, and not only for Muslims. So now you can deduce the answer :)– PepperJan 6, 2015 at 8:36

Homosexuality is a sin, and encouraging a sin is also a sin, both are accountable.
