As somebody who is working with the help of God to overcome my own homosexual desires, it is right.

As someone who lives a happy life as a gay man and recently got married to my boyfriend of 10 years, I feel sorry for what you're inflicting on yourself.

The God that I love and worship loves you too.  A simple idea - perhaps God can free those with homosexual desires from the tyranny of their desires?  This is what I believe and hope for.  God loves us all very much.  How much?  Haven't you heard?

What causes homosexuality? - that is the topic. Homosexuality is the result of deep-rooted confusion about the proper role of self and others in society and in relationship to one another and to God.  Now Jay520 said earlier, that confusion is the wrong word to use.  No, confusion is correct.  The person has confused, obfuscated, and misunderstood; they have not valued correctly.  So has any sinner.  It's not a big deal.  To say that he who has homosexual desire must submit to such desires is pretty counter-biblical though.  If you feel sorry for me, then you must feel sorry for the gambler who seeks to escape gambling, or the alcoholic who recognizes his problem and wants a way out, or the man who compulsively lies but wants to start telling the truth.

Perhaps you sympathize with them - can you not sympathize with the man seeking to destroy his homosexual desires, after recognizing the destructiveness of them?
