Yes, I would say that we, as humans, are created in Gods image. when or if you read the bible you will see how God expresses his feelings through his messengers and the Bible.
He is anger, He is love, He is a father:God reaches out to connect to those in need ( on a need to know basis), He breaths, He is saddened. To me, God sounds pretty human at times. So I think our genetic make up came from him. Theres allot of good stuff in the Bible about God and some of it is so natural and like human kind.
To protect your privacy: I know that there are diversities of people on the earth. But, I'll have to say that some things that take place here on earth , as a result of our human behavior, are not God's original idea. To me it would be like seeing a person going down the street in a pair of two left shows. It would mean two things. One: the person has two feet that are made like a left foot. Two: their is some form of imbalance and that is the reason he is wearing two left shoes when he/she has a left and a right foot. God made and designed things to be a certain way. And I am not updated on any changes. Don't take what I am saying as an insult. If I have insulted you, I apologize. Truthfully ,only God is the true judge because (only) he knows their hearts and reasons.So I will have to say that I don't think he (God) is. In additon, I'm not one of Gods judges.

No- it means when everybody is born as a baby they are essentially innocent and beautiful. After that, free will may change that. Their choices may lead them down different paths. A gay person can still be kind and good like God. It is not meant to be literal-I don't see God as a person who can be gay or straight. I see him as a being, who isn't even necessarily male or female. Just a strong force in people's lives.

Image of God does not mean that the image bearer will exhibit the same behavior. It just means that we are created in his image. There is some sort of similarity. There is little agreement among theologians actually about what the image that we bear actually is.

An "Image" is incapable of being straight or gay, an image is just an image. And the concept of God is beyond good and evil ,straight and gay, God is just God. Man is just man.
Gays are just gay.

No. Being gay is a sin and God is without sin.
Romans 1:27 (King James Version)
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Our spirits are created in the image of God,but our fallen nature, including gays,lesbians,and heterosexual people is in the image of the devil

No, I don't believe that is what is meant. The scriptures state that God is a spirit. So, the likeness and image spoke of in the book of Genesis refers to man's spirit.

Only the Spirit or "soul" was created in the image of God. Not the physical body or the gayness gene.

Jesus was gay. He had 12 guys around him all the time, none ever married after he left & three were sleeping with each other while he was praying for his life...(ahem) and we're talking about God's only begotten here.

It is not physical likeness which makes us in the image of God. Here is the teaching of the Church on your question.
I. "In the Image of God"
Of all visible creatures only man is "able to know and love his creator."219 He is "the only creature on earth that God has willed for its own sake,"220 and he alone is called to share, by knowledge and love, in God's own life. It was for this end that he was created, and this is the fundamental reason for his dignity:
What made you establish man in so great a dignity? Certainly the incalculable love by which you have looked on your creature in yourself! You are taken with love for her; for by love indeed you created her, by love you have given her a being capable of tasting your eternal Good.221
Being in the image of God the human individual possesses the dignity of a person, who is not just something, but someone. He is capable of self-knowledge, of self-possession and of freely giving himself and entering into communion with other persons. And he is called by grace to a covenant with his Creator, to offer him a response of faith and love that no other creature can give in his stead.
Peace and every blessing!
