We "straight" Christians also struggle with sinful sexual desires involving persons of the opposite gender. Jesus Himself told the male Jewish lawyers that looking at a woman with lust in our heart is equally as sinful as actually engaging in physical adultery, and therefore we are as much in need of forgiveness and redemption through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ as are homosexuals who indulge their own version of sinful lust.

The only acceptable sexual relationship is between one man and one woman married to each other. However, I think that Paul's letter to the Roman Christians emphasized what seems to be God's exceptionally harsh punishment for those who indulge their homosexual desires. After all, He didn't drown the antediluvians because they were playing poker and telling smutty jokes, he drowned them primarily because of their homosexual practices.

Agreed. It is the act and promotion of homosexuality that should be fought against. Those who struggle with temptation should be guided through it towards the healthy, God-inspired, and God-designed life of holy matrimony or holy celibacy - whether the temptation be homo or hetero.
