For some it's clearly a choice. Prison for example; People chose homosexuality rather than celibacy but others regret it so much they chose suicide over celibacy. It used to be classified as a mental illness which I fervently believe in many cases.Being born gay is what many think is the case. Were that really the case then persecuting them would be wrong. Quite the contrary, our sexuality is a learned trait.
I agree with this definition: Gender dysphoria occurs when there is a persistent sense of mismatch between one’s experienced gender and assigned gender. Children get confused enough without telling them God made a mistake in their case.
For the agenda is not just about equal opportunity for homosexual couples in a relationship, but to radically change Western society for the worse. From promoting transgender and homosexual choices in kindergartens to confusing children in schools through the same sexual politics of gender fluidity and encouraging homosexual emotions and sex. When they are out of the closet, they are recruiting.

I guess because I'm 'A' political I get offended by people that single out homos' but support a well known whoremonger, that was fined $10 million for money laundering at the "Taj Mahal Casino" and declared bankruptcy, got away with it, and became our leader.
Didn't take long for someone to drag Trump into this.
FYI, we didn't elect a national Pastor, we elected a political leader. And if you want to drag out the sins of one, we can certainly drag out the sins of all the others.
Example: You use "whore monger" to describe Trump, yet the biggest Presidential "whore monger" was John F. Kennedy - who committed adultery nearly on a daily basis while President.
How about Bill Clinton who committed adultery numerous times, inside the White House itself, and has been accused of rape or sexual assault by dozens of women.
Woodrow Wilson was a communist and Ku Klux Klan sympathizer.
Nixon disparaged Jews and Black.
Don't even get me started on Obama.
And I could go on and on.
The point is people are more offended by and opposed to homosexuality than other obvious sins which are equally as bad. I chose Trump because he's obvious. The money laundering and non profit organization scams bother me more than who someone has sex with.Didn't take long for someone to drag Trump into this.

I said some not most. And all races contain racists BTW.Amen Budman
Also, the OP makes overly generalized assumptions about gay bashing and Christians
Reminds me of the tactics of those who promote the idea that every white person is racist whether they know it or not.

being harsher on homosexuality than adultery seems like a miscarriage of judgement.
I was a counselor.

I some cases there is. Male and Female brains are different and otopy's of the brains of some homosexuals appear to contradict their born gender. So rather than giving them hormones or sexual reassignment surgery I choose to forgive them. You wouldn't blame some for being Schizophrenic why blame them all for being gay?Why this soft approach regarding homosexuality? You seem to be leaning toward some homosexuals not having a choice.
It's entirely a choice, whether they are consciously aware of it or not.
There isn't a single shred of scientific evidence that homosexuality is genetic.
Then you haven't been paying attention.That does not give credibility to your stated assumptions...sorry.
I can easily refute you by stating I have worked with, interacted with, been friends with, many, many, many Christians, never once did I ever hear a single comment that even was remotely close to gay bashing.
I admitted I was speaking out of prejudice.Also, you talk about the "equality" of sins, yet contradict yourself when you said:

Being gay is NOT Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit!
Then you haven't been paying attention.
I'm not excusing it, I'm forgiving it and letting only God be their judge. My sexual preference is nobody business but for the record; I've never found any man arousing. The idea is amusing like a dirty joke.That is absolute speculation. Gender is genetic and cannot be changed. And, once again, there is no "gay gene" or any scientific evidence in favor of it. The entire genome has been mapped, so get over it.
Homosexuals desire an excuse such as "I was born this way" to continue in their deviant lifestyle.
Homosexuality is a sin. Period. You can try and spin it all you like, but you'll fail the biblical test every time.
Why not make the same excuses for pedophilia? Or bestiality? Why not try to excuse those with the lament they're "born that way"?
Again, why are you trying so hard to excuse homosexuality away?
Are you yourself a homosexual?
