Yes, that was very interesting.

One lie society has been sold recently, I believe, is that homosexuality is an “identity” just like being Japanese or having curly hair.

Many past societies simply viewed it as an adulterous act, like any other grave sin. If you are tempted by greed, you may become a thief. But you stop being a thief when you no longer steal, even though the urge for money may remain your whole life.

Homosexuality is the same.

At the time, I knew two girls who were seriously dating each other. One was training to be a Lutheran minister. I wanted to know how they could reconcile their lives with Jesus and his teachings. They assured me that any appearance of conflict rested on historic misinterpretations of Scripture. They thrust a packet into my hands, and I ran back to my room to discover what the Bible really says about sexuality.

The packet had a neat internal consistency. It pleased me greatly. But as I looked up the verses it claimed to be expounding, I grew frustrated. These revisionist interpretations just didn’t line up with the plain meaning of the Bible’s words. Feeling duped, I threw the packet on the floor in disgust. Clearly, I had been foolish to hope that this old-fashioned religion had any room for me.... .

But when I considered what Jesus had done—how he endured separation from God so that I could be joined—I knew I would be a fool to reject his offer. As my heart swelled with thankfulness, I clenched my eyes and prayed, surrendering myself to Jesus. - http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2017/october/i-never-became-straight-perhaps-that-was-never-gods-goal.html?share=44rkqx2CuX6frhIrpgLL8EM5B6hZ7KAm

Revisionist interpretations such as examined here by God’s grace: http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/Homosex_versus_the_Bible.html
