[Looking for Diogenes]

The mere existence of an unacted-upon attraction to someone of the same sex does not make a person a sodomite.

You are right. But it does make them a homosexual.

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Like many, it appears that you have fallen prey to the language twisters. You have equated so-called "homosexual orientation" (to use the common term) with being homosexual. The two are not the same.

As for your quote of scripture, you are confusing a religious or philosphopical injunction with a secular legal one. In the "secular legal realm" a crime requires an intent AND an action. In the absence of both, there is no crime. In some cases the existence of the action implies the existence of the intent, but never the reverse.
