I believe some people can be born with psychological defects that leave them with homosexual desires. Why?

[Theo]

People are born with all sorts of faulty mental/emotional/psychological faculties, from fetal alchohol syndrome to Downs syndrome and so on. It seems reasonable that people can be born with any sort of mental/emotional/psychological defect.

I believe the homosexual tendency to be a defect from what God intends, from what is "right," from what is "normal." People can be healed from that defect, just as people are healed of broken arms or cancer.

To clarify my position -- the "tendency" is a defect. Acting on that desire is "sinful." Homosexual inclinations aren't necessarily sin, while homosexual behavior is clearly a sin.
