First, let's not worry about what the Bible says---not that it appears anyone here really was. I wonder why that is, though? Sounds pretty self-serving to me. Anyway, I was an atheist long before I experienced same-gender sex. Maybe there is a connection, though---I'll get to that later.
Second, don't make the mistake of thinking that gays know any more about the reasons for being gay than anyone else. I can tell you what turns me on, but that isn't the same thing, or what you were asking. Anyway, gays are like any other group, just as dumb, just as smart, just as whatever. People in general aren't especially tuned in to what makes them think, how their thought processes work, etc., and neither are gays, so take your responses with a grain of salt.
Third, I can only speak for myself (everyone else shares this limitation, but some don't realize it)---I wasn't born homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual; I was just born sexual, a human animal. I experimented sexually, like everybody does, with both male and female. Most people (including gays) are so freaked out by their own urges that they make up a mythology around them: I was born gay, I'm gay because someone molested me, I'm gay because of a domineering mother, etc. Or, on the other hand: That was just an experiment, it didn't mean anything, it doesn't mean I'm gay. Blah blah blah. Pretty tedious stuff, the human psyche. After my initial gay experiences I felt guilt, shame, all the usual crap. I also enjoyed the experience, and I was too bright too convince myself otherwise. I've done it since, and will do it again. I have also had sex with women, and will do that again.
If you're having sex for pleasure, and most of us do, a like-minded partner is all that is required. If you're having sex for procreation, then a partner of the opposite sex is required. It seems pretty self-explanitory to me. Monosexuals (those who have sex with only one gender) seem odd to me. Well, probably not odd, really, just prosaic and self-deluded, a pretty common complex.
Remember in the first paragraph I said I'd get back to the possible connection between atheism and homosexuality? Try this: Those with a rational enough mind to reject reliigion and the Bible, are also rational enough to have sex with whomever they wish, and be comfortable with it.
These are just my theories and opinions. I could very well be deluded myself!
Incidentally, it is comical to note the numerous grammatical errors, mispellings and assorted mistakes in the responses that derided you for not using a spell-checker.

How much grain alcohol did you drink last night? It's how come, not why come. Faygits...have no clue what you mean there, but I'm sure faygits are perfectly nice people. Maybe they're gnomes. I think it's supposed to read "THE bible tells you ". Why are you telling the faygits to heel? They're not dogs you know. And I certainly don't understand why they would lay on top of one another. OH! I get it. You mean *******, like a bundle of sticks right? So you're saying that the sticks are going to lay on top of eachother. Now, that makes more sense.
Or about as much sense as your mindless rambling....

Why can't people who are like you go back to school and educate yourself? I just bet your brain has never known true stimulation. If you put half the effort into education as you do into other peoples business we might just have another brain surgeon in this world. Clue in genius and realize it has never been Gods wish for you to show just how dumb some of his children are. Go back to sleep and think of something with a little more depth to it. If that is at all possible. I am straight and have no gay friends but I would say from seeing your question. I prefer what is it you wrote oh yeah "A faygit" over an idiot any day of the week ending in Y!

Oh good Lord! "Faygits", "Why come", "tels", "yor", and "heel"....either you're playing stupid or this is really your true nature. You need to use the Check Spelling feature(unless you think that's a sin!)and just get over yourself. Not only are you going to be reported, you are the end result of ignorant people procreating. Sometimes I bet your mother wished that she could've swallowed, got her $20.00, and bought a bottle of NightTrain that faithful day.....

1. "why come" How come (Yes, of course that makes sense.)
2. "faygits" ******* (That's not even a remotely polite/correct term. It is another term for bundle of sticks.)
3. "bible tels" The Bible tells (Maybe a "god" in this "bible" could shoot you with a lighting bolt and then give you a grammar lesson.)
4. "heel for laying on yor" heal (Repent, possibly?) for laying on (Having sex with?) your
5. ".?" I can't even respond to this one.
Aside from the fact that I am completely dumbfounded by the mechanics of this question, I will attempt to answer it. Let's think. Gay people like to be gay because... DING DING DING! They were born that way!
Maybe we could relate this to something you could easily understand. Gay people are gay just like illiterate people, such as yourself, like to be illiterate.
TaDa!

The Bible tells us many things. Fortunately a large portion of Christianity has gotten beyond the text.
The idea that God sends homosexuals to hell is not a Christian idea, it belongs to Biblio-idolatry. The Bible did not exist until nearly 400 AD in anything resembling its present form. The Canon of books as we know them was not created until the Council of Carthage.
The fragments we have of early manuscripts of the canonical books differ from one other. There are, by the lowest estimates, about 200,000 differences between the available early fragments. There are no autographs of the Bible -- and the earliest versions written are not something we have. Instead we have thousands of copies of copies of translations of copies. Reasonable scholarly study will show anyone willing to pursue it that the Bible we have is not only NOT anything resembling the original versions of the books that comprise it -- but that we have no idea of what those books might have said. Over a hundred years of Textual Criticism (a theological field where a scholar attempts to recreate what the originals probably said) has failed to yield any better understanding than we had -- and many textual critics are now saying that the search itself is meaningless, that we cannot ever know what the originals said. (See Dr. Bart Erhman; Misquoting Jesus; Harper SanFrancisco; 2006 -- for detailed explanation)
So does the "Bible" condemn homosexuality? In some forms. Is the Bible an authentic copy of anything that MIGHT EVEN POSSIBLY be divine? No.
If looking at the inconsistencies is not enough to convince you -- then I suggest looking at the errors in the received text. Sola Scriptura cannot possibly withstand even a casual but serious and honest examination of the texts.
The Bible says that the world has corners (Isaiah 11:12) and that it sets on pillars (I Samuel 2:8). It says that God accepted a human sacrifice -- he may have prevented Isaac's, but he allowed a general to sacrifice his own daughter without even a murmur, the text giving tacit support to the idea that having given his word, the man had to kill his child. (Judges 11:30-39). It clearly maintains that genocide is often commanded by God (Joshua 10:40-42 and I Samuel 15: 2, 3 and 8) and that, after killing all the adults in a race, taking the female children as sex slaves is permissible (Numbers 31: 17-18).
The God revealed by the Bible is not only both a liar who doesn't know the natural laws of his own world, and a monster, as shown above -- but he has no real regard, even for his own people, whom he forces into cannibalism (Leviticus 26: 27-29) when he is mad at them; or his priests, whose faces he wipes with dung (Malachi 2:1-3).
It is not only gays and lesbians that are hated by bible-god. This monstrosity also suggests killing kids who eat or drink too much (Deuteronomy 21: 18-21), and says that if he is angry with parents he will kill their children (Leviticus 26:22) and he blames things upon children whose great-great-great grandfathers committed the things being blamed on the kids (Exodus 20: 5).
Putting it in a word, bible-god is a monstrosity, a horrific demiurge of evil. Something that even he admits ( Isaiah 45:7 ) [Furthermore, the word used in Hebrew for evil, the word ra' is widely conceded to mean a number of different things: It can mean "wickedness," "mischief," "bad," "trouble," "hurt," "sore," "affliction," "ill," "adversity," "harm," "grievous," and "sad." So no matter what particular interpretation is given of this word -- it has profoundly negative implications. The idea that god is sovereign over the affairs of man makes this even worse, because no matter what interpretation it has, it indicates that bible-god deliberately does harm.]; evil about which he sometimes changes his mind (Exodus 32:14). What a font of unchanging morality -- that almighty God can decide to kill an entire people, and then be talked out of it by a human servant... Furthermore, it is obvious, if God can change his mind, then even if the Bible were not full of errors and horrors, you could not trust that God had not changed his mind on any other issue in it.
So, yes, I suppose if one wants to take as truth a book that says that beetles have four legs instead of six (Leviticus 11: 21-23) and that rabbits chew their cud [which they do NOT] (Deuteronomy 14:7) and if you are willing to, having accepted it as truth, overlook the fact that bible-god routinely changed his mind (I can show you other instances if you wish) then yeah, I suppose its words would matter and gays are therefore going to hell.
I on the other hand, while a Christian (as in Christ follower) am NOT a literalist, and do not think that a book of bronze age myths owing heavily to the Sumerian and Egyptian myths in the Old Testament and to a collection of pagan faiths, particularly Mithraism in the New Testament matters at all.
Christianity is centered around love, faith in Christ, and Eucharist. At best the Bible is sacred because of its place in the life of the early church and should be regarded as holy myth -- stress on the myth.
I don't expect anyone I know who is gay will be going to the mythic hell it talks about.

First of all you need to learn how to write a sentence and to use spell check. After that learning some manners would help.Along with gaining some intelligence
If there is a God and you believe in the christen one.He also said "those without sin cast the 1st stone".
Something about your writing tells me would have many stones thrown at you..

Where, exactly, is this "heel" I wonder? Sure, my feet get stinky at times, but I doubt any so-called "faygits" are spending eternity at my feet. Sober up, get spell check, but most of all, get the real God on your side, because only He's the one who can truly judge, and He loves everyone one of us just the same, "faygit" or not.
