God says His Spirit will not always strive with man , also we can grieve the Spirit.The scripture you refer to is in Romans 1:28.Here we see the act of homosexuality.I am sad that there are those who even suggest that such behavior is exceptable with God.God commanded Adam and Eve to be fruitfull and replenish the earth.It takes a male and a female to bring forth life even amoung insects.Their sinfull behavior is an abomanation in the sight of God.For this He gives them over to their own demize and one cannot repent unless they are sorry for the sin which many today are not.But the prayers of a rightous man availeth much in the eyes of God , so if you know someone like this start praying .God may not hear their prayers but He will here yours if your a christain.And remember you can't be righteous except for the blood of Jesus.

A reprobate is usually in the Bible something that God's gives men over to after they have consistantly rejected Him and blasphemed. If you are concerned about it, it is most likely that you don't have it.If you had it you wouldn't worry about getting forgiveness for it because you would have rejected Christ.
All sin can be forgiven by turning to Christ, believing in Him and confessing Him as Lord.

A reprobate mind is one that doesn't believe what the Bible and Christianity say.

A reprobated mind is when a person thinks wrong is actually right and therefore feels no uilt for it. I don't know if it's something you need forgiveness for. It's more like a curse for doing so much wrong that you numb the concious AND the holy spirits voice. You would actually have to ask forgiveness for the sins that got you to that point and ask God to heal your mind.

Romans 1:28
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
2Timothy 3:8
Now as Joannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

27 "I have made you a tester of metals and my people the ore, that you may observe and test their ways. 28 They are all hardened rebels, going about to slander. They are bronze and iron; they all act corruptly. 29 The bellows blow fiercely to burn away the lead with fire, but the refining goes on in vain; the wicked are not purged out. 30 They are called rejected [reprobate, KJV] silver, because the LORD has rejected them." NIV
Rom 1: 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient
2 Tim 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
Tit 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Jude 1: 4For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

As long as one is alive and repentant, forgiveness is possible. There is always a glimmer of hope. There's a big "but," however. When someone has been given over to a reprobate mind, it means that God has allowed someone to indulge without reservations, the sin in which they enjoy. This is a difficult hurdle to overcome once it is in place. It usually takes a tragedy in someone's life to bring them back to their senses.

one that is given over to sin....
one who is lost and not able to be saved due to them completely being given over to sin.....
I guess you could say one that has completely and udderly rejected God for the last time...
From the perspective of The Bible, a reprobate is someone who refuses to make good use of the understanding of the Word of God provided to them, "these also resist the Truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith." (2 Timothy 3:8 KJV). Reprobate is used to translate the originate Greek word of the New Testament, pronounced, ad-ock-ee-mos, meaning rejected i.e. those who reject the Word of God will be rejected by God's Word in due time, as made plain by the Word of God (John 1:1,14), Jesus Christ: "He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings has a judge; the Word that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day." (John 12:48 RSV)

Could it be reprobate?
Reprobate means immoral, deviating from what is considered right and proper. A reprobate (as a noun) is one who has abandoned morality and is lost.
