My pov is sure to get me into trouble, but here it goes.
We cannot choose who we are attracted to, but we can choose what
we do with that attraction. For example, if we entertain
lustful thoughts it is as if we commit adultery.
I believe that homosexuality has a beautiful gift...let me
explain...one of the most under talked about fruits of the
Spirit is self-control and if there was ever any doubt, we all
need to learn self-control over our sexual desires. The
homosexual that learns to exercise that self-control is yielding
to the HS and has just received one of the greatest gifts God
gives to His believers. IOW's homosexuality is an opportunity
to learn self-control just like poverty is an opportunity to
learn to be content like no other lesson can teach us.

[/quote]I can agree somewhat. However, I don't expect the number
of gays in control of their lusts and desires to be any more or
less than straight people, which is not a high percentage.
Sexual deviance is one of the most insidious behaviors to engage
in.

[/quote]the same can be said about poor people, just because
they don't necessarily learn the lesson does NOT mean God didn't
put it there for them to learn. Look back at Gen. weeds are
there to remind us to be righteous, just because most see weeds
as something to get rid of, a curse to end, doesn't mean their
purpose has changed.

My simple answer is that they can live a righteous Christian
life. I chose not to judge them as I understand Jesus'
teaching to put forth. While I may or may not agree with
lifestyle choices or arguments that it is a choice or a DNA
issue or anything else, I am not the final arbitrator of how
they have lived their life. If they live there life in an
upstanding, righteous and Christian life then why shouldn't they
have the same considerations as anyone else?
My in-laws, well the hardcore far-right Christians of the group
say I am going to hell for not taking a hard stance. My
question to them that they have failed to even try to answer is:
"When did God and Jesus give you the right to judge your fellow
man? I do not remember reading it anywhere in the Bible, Can
not seem to find your name anywhere in there?"
I do not condemn anyone for the way you judge those as that is
between you and the Holy Father, but do not try to make me judge
the same if I believe it goes against the teachings.
This is just my humble opinion and postion
