The Bible says that God ABHORS homosexuality.
Ah, but is "homosexuality" both the same-sex attraction or the same-sex attraction plus homosexual acts? I would say that it is the act that is sinful.
An analogy with alcohol is appropriate: a person may have a propensity to become an alcoholic, much like a person may have the propensity to be attracted to members of the same sex. The would-be alcoholic can choose to avoid all alcohol, thereby avoiding drunkenness. Likewise, the person attracted to members of the same sex can avoid sexual situations. Thus, he avoids homosexual acts.

I am extremely attracted to very beautiful women. How I control my thought life affects how I control my actions. If I look at or watch porn, or just allow myself to dwell on lustful thoughts, it destroys my self control, and I have a stronger craving. Much like an alcoholic.
