No dilemma for me! Homosexuality is perversion. End of story. The reasons are many and varied.

Ok now explain Lesbianbutchdikeism.

Maybe... just maybe, it is not genetic.
Rubbish. God says it is horrible sin. End of story.
Perhaps due to the same reason the North Pole was going to melt already. I do not but their conclusions or the morality that flows from it, over what the Creator states. .
We are born human. Regardless of inner proclivity, and the effects of the fall, we cannot justify acting according to sinful desires.
In the case of human sexual behavior, which is the greater sin - the homosexual who violates biblical teachings in accordance to Leviticus 20:13 - or the heterosexual who is guilty of the teachings in the book of Romans 13:8-10?
There are two kinds of sin, physical and of the heart. A drunk may be a nice person, while the clean living men may be a cold hearted vindictive man. Homosexual relations are the worse sins in the sexual area of physical sins, but it also flows from idolatry, and is usually concomitant with pride, sensuality, selfishness - and arrogant denial of sin. And adultery when "married."
Both are evil then, but few defend adultery, theft, etc. etc esp. as normative and healthy, and demands special treatment for their lifestyle.
if they have accepted a homosexual lifestyle and is comfortable with their choice they should have the freedom to live life to the fullest without discrimination, harassment, or violence.
Really? Sin away says this pseudo Christian. Even taking just the typical exercise of the "lifestyle," what other consensual act would you justify that typically, mainly among males, results in a greatly increased incidence of infections diseases and premature death, and has been the main cause behind half a million American's death, and for 79% of new HIV cases today.
And the estimated lifetime cost of treatment for one person with HIV is $379,668 (in 2010 dollars)
Meanwhile 41% of people who are transgender or gender-nonconforming have attempted suicide sometime in their lives, nearly nine times the national average.
But what they do behind closes door does not affect anyone, right?
Horse pucky, there is no dilemma because the Bible clearly defines homosexual actions as sinful while also stating love the sinner.
It is a malady, a disorder, an abnormality, an aberration.
“Homosexuality is much more complex than it appears on the surface..”
This is hogwash-—homosexuality is a simple fixation in Latency; immaturity. The person is unable to “mature” and appreciate the “Other”—true diversity—because of childhood trauma...mostly sexual abuse but it can be peer rejection and emotional or neglect in very early childhood (Psychogenesis by Moberly). Idolatry and Narcissism is always much easier than maturity and selflessness and the ability to love the “other”.
The warping of young children is fairly simple, especially for boys. Boys have a harder time in early childhood because they have to separate from the Mother (autonomy) but then re-identify with a male role model. Without this modeling and embedded interaction between mother and father—worldview/object of desire can be distorted and the boy is easily confused.
Mostly, homosexuals are abused, which embeds strong, irrational emotions concerning the object of desire, during childhood which are not easily shaken.
My Bible says God created Adam first. Then, using a rib from Adam, God created woe man, er, I mean woman. Your analysis can be rewritten to say that God added a ‘tail’ to the “Y” chromosome, to produce woman.
