To make a long story short (and for the record I'm not Christian so I can't speak on their behalf) But what they idea about being Gay or Bi-Sexual ect... Is not "not being attracted". As you said you have no control over sexual attraction. However, the idea is that it is a test to see whether you will give in to those desires and have sex with someone of the same gender or whether you will wait to marry the opposite gender. The thing is, I don't make much distinction between those who have extra marital sex and those who are gay AND AND ACTUALLY PRACTICE THEIR SEXUAL DESIRES . These are both people who can't resist any kinds of urges. I don't hate them in any way, but I believe that what they are doing is wrong.
I think the debate that Christians have turned the gay issue into a matter of choice and not choice hurts the whole argument. Being attracted to something is not a choice, acting upon that attraction is something entirely different.'
And for those who say that if you are attracted to the same gender but don't actually act on it is denying who you truly are, I have to ask them one question. If I don't hump every girl that I meet that I am attracted to, am I being "not true to myself"? After you have religion and the belief that doing something like that is wrong, the choice is up to you. Shall I try to restrain my desires for the sake of what I believe is a godly good. Or should I do the thing that makes me most satisfied.
THAT is the choice that everyone has to make albeit about different matters, subjects, tests ect....

You will end up with a girl , so if you are a muslim you will restrain your desires until you get married and you won't have to hump every other girl, cuz you will get what you want eventually and you will please your god, that's easy but... How is that comprable to restraining yourself until you die (in case you were gay)? it's not!

Oh man, that's an easy one. What if you're straight and marry a woman you're not attracted to. Each person has their test in life. I personally beleive that they are all in one way or another comparrable. And if it's not in attraction, its in money, disease, family issues, stealing ect....That's my belief anyhow.

Why would anyone do that.....
first, You think a straight guy who is denying himself the pleasure of sleeping with every woman he wants to (and who is, however, given the choice to marry 4 women simultaneously and own some if he wants to) is in a similar position to a gay guy.
Then you come up with a scenario where the straight guy ends up with a woman he is not attracted to just to tell me that's simlar to a gay guy who can't get any godly approved human intimacy... OK!
You are forgetting few things that i've already mentioned, like even if we assume he ended up somehow with a woman he doesn't find attractive, there are Halal options like divorce, polygamy and more...
