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?

Why should homosexual desires be considered tyranical or destructive? Compulsive gambling and alcoholism are real destructive habits, they end up in debt, bankruptcy, violence, loss of job, friends and loved ones. Homosexuality doesn't have any of those consequences, you can easily be a fully functional member of society while dating someone of the same sex.

Perhaps you aren't religious. But I know you can see what is wrong with homosexuality. The wrongness thereof manifests itself just after you have satisfied your desires, when a wave of disgust washes over you. Perhaps you have learned to ignore the wave of guilt. That does not mean it does not come. Watch, next time you have sex. You will see. Then begins the long, arduous journey.
