If you are Christian and believe the Bible is Gods Holy Word, then you cannot be homosexual. Homosexuality is a learned behavior. It isn't genetic and it isn't a chemical/hormonal imbalance. Nor is it a disease. A homosexual is "in the closet" because he knows he is in "sin" and is hiding from God i.e. Adam and Eve hid when they sinned. The only reason they come out is because they would be socializing with the same. Can someone be cured if they are gay, yes! Jesus delivers us from that sin and all sin. We have to repent from that.

Does God's words change? Does God move His standards?

Leviticus 18:22 - Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Leviticus 20:13 - If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

The only Laws that changed were the sacrificial laws.

Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

1 Corinthians 6:9 - Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

The Lord God has Spoken in His word... If you take it out of any context as this, you are left to your own defense in judgement.

"If you are Christian and believe the Bible is Gods Holy Word, then you cannot be homosexual."

Not true - one can be Christian, and still fall into sin. The question is, will you recognize it and yourself to be set free?

The difference between the "Christian" and the "Sinner" is not that the Christian never sins; it is that the Christian repents and is forgiven of his sins. The difference is not in the person - the difference is Jesus Christ in that person.
