Okay man.
It's not a sin. You were born that way. It just IS.
I see it this way: If God is an all-loving person, shouldn't helove you anyways? Besides, I'm pretty sure he doesn't give a crap you like other men. I mean really. He's got bigger fish to fry.
Being a homo isn't a sin.
Being a murderer-rapist is a sin.
You're not hurting anyone by being gay.
The Bible also said having your period was a sin.
I guess I've sinned once a month for 6 years, huh?
I'm just saying, don't get caught up in that bull. I know I'm offending some people. I just don't believe the same.

The Reason People Get Sick
Read the account in the bible book of Mark chapter 2 verses 1-12.
The account of a man who was paralyzed and Jesus cured him.
What do we learn from this miracle?— We learn that Jesus has the power to forgive sins and to make sick people well. But we also learn something else, something very important. We learn that people get sick because of sin.
Since we all get sick sometimes, does this mean that we are all sinners?— Yes, the Bible says that all of us are born with sin. Do you know what it means to be born with sin?— It means that we are born imperfect. We sometimes do things wrong, even though we don’t want to. Do you know how we all came to have sin?—
We got this way because the first man, Adam, did not obey God. He sinned when he broke God’s law. And we all got sin from Adam. Do you know how we got our sin from him? Let me try to explain it in a way that you can understand.
Maybe you have helped someone bake bread in a pan. What will happen to the bread if there is a dent in the pan? Do you know?— That same mark, or dent, will show on all the bread you make in that pan, won’t it?—
Adam was like that pan, and we are like the bread. He became imperfect when he broke God’s law. It was as though he had received a dent, or a bad mark. So when he had children, what would they be like?— All his children would receive this same mark of imperfection.
Will there ever be a time when we will not get sick? Will we ever be rid of sin?— Well, what did Jesus do for that paralyzed man?— Jesus forgave his sins and healed him. In that way, Jesus showed what he is going to do one day for all of those who try hard to do what is right.
If we show that we do not want to sin and that we hate what is wrong, Jesus will heal us. In the future, he will remove from us the imperfection that we now have. He will do this as King of God’s Kingdom. Sin will not be removed from us all at once. It will be taken away over a period of time. Then when our sin is finally gone, we will never get sick again. We will all have perfect health. What a blessing that will be!
For more thoughts about how sin affects everyone, read Job 14:4; Psalm 51:5 (50:7, “Dy”); Romans 3:23; 5:12; and 6:23.

Well we are born with a sinful nature and people have different things to overcome. Some men who have found God might struggle with a desire to rape, some people struggle with food, some struggle with laziness, some struggle with rage, some are attracted to underage teens....our sinful nature is a collection of flaws inherited from our parents and negative experiences that make us even more separated from God.
I'm not saying you do not legitamately have an attraction to the opposite sex, but in the Earth made new everything will be restored - including the original Eden state - an Adam for every Eve. Homosexuality won't exist. So if you wish to hold on to a homosexual lifestyle you wont want to imbrace the free gift of eternal salvation offered by God through Christ. But Christ welcomes you as you are to leave that sinful nature behind and take on his nature.

One thing that I would like to know is why you think that you were born that way. Even Satan was at one time perfect. He chose not to stay that way. Our behaviors are all taught behaviors, except for the natural ones like breathing, etc. You say that you prayed to be heterosexual. If you don't like having sex with an opposite, why have sex at all. Sex was/is for procreating and was designed to be between a man and a woman. That is why God said that man would leave his father and mother (not mom and mom or dad and dad) and stick to his wife. Maybe if you could find someone to talk to about the matter that could sit with you and explain to you the reasons for your feelings you may feel better. the bible says to keep yourselves holy just as I am holy. Sex is to be between a man and woman in marriage between two people who love the Lord. Bible says to marry only in the lord, this means having the same belief system. Maybe you just haven't found the right person.

Don't confuse sexual orientation (which is not a sin) with sexual activity. Sexual activity is always a choice, that's where the sin part comes in. If you want the help that hundreds have found, then check out an organization such as Courage. There really is hope, many who have struggled, have found freedom to live in a heterosexual relationship.

God is love, and watches over each and every human being on Earth to make sure he or she has a happy, successful life. This is kind of strange though, since the central doctrine of Christianity is that all humans must live a life dominated by guilt and fear and that they must pray forgiveness from God every day from creating them. Unfortunately, God's Earth-shattering powers of supreme might are easily thwarted by people not believing in Him, so He cannot make some people happy.
/In one of the earliest documented cases of Multiple Personality Disorder, God, although one single entity, is actually three different things at the same time. God is composed of The Father, The Holy Spirit, and The Son- or Jesus-. God was not always composed of Jesus however, He just decided one day to include Him, then send Him down to Earth to get around His own "wages of sin = death" rule, because God of course is not capable of breaking His OWN RULES, is he?

You pretty much have the answer right there in your statements.
It's not a sin. To create someone automatically damned to hell for being what they were created to be wouldn't be the work of a loving God. It would be the work of a sadist.
Not that I believe any of that Christian rubbish in the first place, but even if I did I certainly wouldn't believe that homosexuals were intrinsically damned.
Any "God" that would do that to any of his creations isn't a God worth worshipping, imo. Think about it...why would you wanna hang around a "God" that thought you were a piece of crap anyway? If he created you, that doesn't really say much for him, does it?
Obviously, homosexuals can no more easily change their sexual desires than can heterosexuals. It is hardwired into their genetic makeup, and religion has nothing to do with it. Homosexuals can choose to repress their natural sexual desires, but they can no more choose to change them than they can stop the sun from rising everyday.
There's no rational justification for believing that homosexuals are "damned". All it is is just a convenient crutch for people to justify maintaining their fear of difference and lack of tolerance.

First, God didn't "make" you like that.
Second, we are ALL born in a fallen world, "for ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Finally, what makes you homosexual? I mean, that's like asking why you won't eat peas! If a person doesn't eat peas but wants to, ... (YOU figure it out!)
Sex with ANY body outside of marriage is sin. Why do you think that being heterosexual will make you less of a sinner? The only thing that makes us less of a sinner is Jesus Christ, becuase He died to rescue us from sin and from it's eternal consequences. (When I say "less of a sinner", I mean He deals with ALL our sin - 100% less!)

Why would God make you this way when he plainly states in his word that is an abomination to him. My brother, you are in bondage and the only way out is through Christ who can take away this sin. Seek him out. Invite him into your heart, he is the only way to get to God. Read the word.

Romans 1:27 And the men did the same thing: leaving the
natural use of the woman, they burned in their lusts for
one another; men committing shameful acts with men,
and suffering in their own bodies the penalty for their
error, which is their fitting reward.
28 And so, since they did not like to retain Yahweh in
their knowledge, it came to pass that they were given
over to deadly diseases that damaged their brains,
robbing them of Righteous Judgment, thus doing those
things which are perverted;
29 Causing to arise all unrighteousness, sexual
impurity, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; total
envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They even
practice sorcery and witchcraft to protect themselves
from these deadly plagues,
30 They are backbiters; slanderers, haters of Yahweh,
despiteful, arrogant, and boastful, inventors of evil things,
disobedient to parents,
31 And without understanding. They are Covenantbreakers,
without natural affection, implacable; truce
breakers, and unmerciful:
32 Who, knowing the Righteous Judgment of Yahweh,
that those who practice such things deserve death, not
only continue to do these very things, but also approve
of those who practice them.
You make your own choses which is what Yahweh gives you. You can change.
Deu 30:15 ¶ See, I have set before thee this day life and righetousness, and death and evil;
Deu 30:16 In that I command thee this day to love Yahweh your Father, to walk in his ways, and to keep his Laws and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and Yahweh your Father shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
Deu 30:17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship gods, and serve them;
Gen 4:7 If thou doest righteousl, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not righetous, sin lieth at the door. The desire to sin is within you, but you must over come it.
