I don't know if gay people are born with a homosexual inclination, but for the sake of argument here, I'll concede for the moment that they are.
Other people are born with other inclinations, though -- bestiality, pedophilia, incest, and so on.
Does this mean that it's okay to act on the inclinations -- just because we have them?
Having the inclination toward a behavior is not necessarily a God-given green light to engage in said behavior. It depends on what it is.
With homosexuality, acting on the inclination toward the behavior is morally illicit, because it goes against the order of God's design for His creation -- namely, that He created us to be sexually complementary. He created roughly half of us male, and roughly half of us female.
In so doing, God made us partners in His ongoing creative work. Homosexual acts deny that partnership. They go entirely against it. It's God's will, but homosexual acts are in denial of it.
