dude, here is a little story for you:

I was born in an Islamic country.

I was  A VERY RELIGIOUS MAN, I used to read Quran and study hadith regularly. My family are religious too. To cut a long story short I realised I was gay when I was 15 years old and my world collapsed. I prayed for miracles and I loathed myself for 6 years I asked god to cure me everyday. I used to save up money to go to a therapist and I WAS  A FREAKING KID. My life pretty much sucks now and I am being too desperate for any kind of human contact it is not even funny, I fucking can't wait to leave the middle east. Did I choose this? why would I choose this? why would choose such a sucky life? Being gay isn't a choice and you claim your god then why would he punish me for this?

I want to believe in God I really want to but I can't find my way, god if you are reading this, show me the way.

I mean, WOW! Sad story (if true) but being gay is not genetical. You have your way out. Just consult the right psychriatist.

God gave us free will to do whatever we choose to do. But then he provided guidelines what to do and what not. You are to decide to which path you go.

It's widely accepted in scientific circles that sexuality isn't a choice. There are a huge number of factors - mostly biological some environmental - that determine sexuality.

Also the attempts to 'cure' homosexuality have all been at best scientifically inconclusive and at worst complete failures - nobody has ever had a proven way to change sexuality.

 

@Luxemburg. Your post is almost entirely historical, it is not necessarily relevant to modern Islam.

Edit: Also , I truly hope the Muslim world comes to embrace the social and political freedoms of the west while maintaining their culture and religion.
