An answer that makes sense to me, is that none of us our perfect and we all have certain "behaviors" we favor many of them sinful, but varying by individual. We are all "sick" with sin, just some people have different sicknesses. We are not better or worse than someone who is born with this "struggle" we all have our cross to bear. But as someone mentioned, "revelling" in the lifestyle is wrong, and leads down a dark path. I still know lots of gay people and most of their lives are a horror-show filled with drama. This is not true for all of them, but if you look at the general sub-culture and how they are portrayed as "speshul snowflakes" in the media its easy to see why some people just give in. I am thankful I don't struggle with this, but I empathize with those that do. A relapse is understandable we all have them with our sins, but living the life and ceasing to try and resist sin is a doomed endeavor.
I sincerely think a big part of this issue is that our culture is now glorifying LGBTQ sub-culture.

Actually, when I was saved, I didn't identify with being a drug addict because I wasn't. I then became one. He gave me the right people, circumstances and ability to quit too. And honestly? I stopped for decades, but now with chronic pain, I live on pain pills, so I don't even know if I am or am not addicted. Got another word for me?
I also don't think anything we do limits Jesus.

I guess being a gay is your option...you chosed it
and that makes it as a sin...temptation comes in two choices Yes or No,,,if Yes then you chosed to sin
If no then you chosed God over temptation and it is counted as victory,,,my point is Gay is not inborn as everybody have said
it is your choice to be like that....we dont criticize gays because it is not good to judge but we can advice on what to do based on the Scriptures
...why not stop being a gay and be changed...surrender everything to God and be Renewed in the Holy Spirit

Well said.
It is impossible to be gay AND a christian. If a homo truly believes what the bible says about being gay, they wouldn't even turn gay to begin with. A gay person trying to be a christian while being gay, is just making a mockery of God and His word.. And what's the point of being gay, if you're NOT going to be in a relationship?

It just dawned on me. I love my husband dearly and do think he is still wonderful looking as well as wonderful on the inside. But I am a looker. I count abs on men to see if it's a six-pack or an eight-pack. I do observe other things about other guys and I am impressed at times. I also notice and appreciate other women, particularly if they work out, but they just never make it in my double-look category.
Jesus, of all people, truly understands the wonders of the human body. He admires his own handywork. And yet, he never sinned. Really impressive!

From the start, I did contend it was more than just celibacy. I'm in a forced celibacy for a while, but my mind still goes there and lingers. (And, in this case, it's not sin. It's health issues.)
Jesus still said, “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
Since he never sinned, I agree with you. He's not homosexual. BUT he was given every temptation, so I wouldn't be surprised both temptations hit him, and yet he didn't even lust. Bigger than merely abstinence. And something he is willing and able to give his people.
Celibacy doesn't usually stop the thoughts.

In all seriousness, you cannot be homosexual and a Christian, it just goes against the conscience of Christianity.
Also, what about the churches that supports gay? False teachings?
I'm not a homophobe, nothing against gays, just don't try that tom foolery around with Christianity.

It goes against the conscience of Christianity? What about the other sins listed in Romans 1? Gossiping? Haughtiness? Slander? Strife? Boasting? They're in the same list as homosexuals. Do we automatically stop those to because of of conscience? In my experience, it seems to be what we fall into immediately as Christians way too often. So, what's the difference and why is homosexuality the only special bean out of that list? It's a long list!
