Okay. Well in that case, I'll tell you then. I once considered myself "bi" (though I was more comfortable leaving "sexual" off the title since I wasn't having sex, but for all intents and purposes, "bisexual"). And what I said still stands. Heterosexuality is still not a sin. Homosexuality still is. It was when I was bi, and it still is now.
I can certainly imagine rejecting how God made me, because it was once a reality for me. But I wouldn't want to go back to that, being bi. I'm sorry, but you won't be working your pathos on me. The fundamental problem a lot of gay people face is believing they were born that way. Because on one hand, while it relieves fear that the person was created wrong, it creates a crisis where that person genuinely believes that they were made for the purpose of committing what their own Creator deems an abominable sin, powerless to stop themselves. That robs the person of their own agency and will. As if they were created to be an abomination, and why would God create anyone to be an abomination? That would just be cruel.
It just seems to me like in this age of self-empowerment and whatnot, that people (gay or otherwise) wouldn't resort to "I can't help it" so readily.

God didn't create down syndrome babies. Here's the bible passage from Genesis 1:26-31:
"Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so. God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good..."
Downs Syndrome is a scientifically proven genetic negative deviation away from what God created occurring as a result of microevolution after the fall of mankind. It is; however, not a sin.
Unfortunately for your assertion with respect to homosexuality, there is no such scientifically proven genetic negative deviation away from what God created. And, of course, homosexual immorality is definitely sin.
