your opinion on this view of homosexuality?

I believe that we are to exercise our conscience. In this we need to stop looking at other peoples activities and focus on what we can control --- which is ourselves (to some extent). Yes, I agree that homosexuality is both social and moral.

However, I'm sick of people "Justifying" their actions instead of finding ways to get along. I don't believe it's okay to justify any action that hurts or diminishes another person's human dignity. This does not mean that we shy away from an issue that hurts the individual, group, or society but rather, find ways to open communication for understanding and knowledge in hopes to find ways to be compassionate to all people what ever their stage is at.

OK - my honest answer:

1) one can be born with homosexual lust

I disagree completely. Sexual lust is not something people are born with. Infants do not desire to engage in sex, nor do they attempt to do so.

2) The problem is homosexuals know that it is not normal to have such lust but act on them any way.

I would say that this is not universally true of homosexuals; that is, not all homosexuals recognize the immorality of their own lustful desires. The same, of course, is true of heterosexuals.

3) well in that case wouldn't a man who cheats on his wife be justified by saying the same thing...im just born this way

This is an accurate analogy. Many homosexuals attempt to morally justify their behavior by claiming that it is natural behavior, but acting according to one's nature is never justification for committing an immoral act - whether it be sexual, violent, or whatever. Is it natural for a man to injure his rival - for anything (toys, sex, money)? Is such behavior justified because it is natural? No more than are homosexual acts or sinful heterosexual acts.

I answered this a few days ago. A persons sexual orientation is "decided" when the brain develops in the womb. It has to do with the hormones you're exposed to. There for it is not a choice nor a sin. Btw how does two men or two women being together bother you or anyone else for that matter

1 It could be the worldly demonic beings that are telling them, that they are in the wrong body. The devil is a liar, an oppressor, and brings on depression, and a confuser of thoughts because he wants to destroy as many people as he can.

2 Or It's lust and a mental confusion illness. Instead of being told that it's an okay thing, they should be helped for their mental disorder!

I disagree. Not all people "know" homosexuality is "wrong", nor do all people believe it is wrong. Why compare sexual addiction to homosexuality? Homosexuals can be as monogamous as any heterosexual. And why would you condemn someone who is born as he or she is to a life without a sexual relationship with the adult to whom they are attracted?

But more to the point: what business is it of yours what someone else's sexuality is?

I think a lot of homosexuals are just normal people trying to make their way in this abnormal world like the rest of us.

When gays start claiming their homosexuality should exempt them from paying taxes, then we'll have an issue to grapple with.

Homosexuality is not a choice, but it doesn't give you an excuse to cheat. You're twisting around a few things. Homosexuality is not a moral issue, either, as there is nothing morally wrong with it.

I think the article is wrong.

We know, and all the professional medical associations agree, that homosexuality is not a disorder, and attempts to "correct" it should not be made. The article attempts to paint homosexuality as not-normal behavior (a disorder).

People choose how they think and act. Ive seen no scientific evidence or rational reason to believe anyone is born with a sexual preference. They just want to have you blindly accept that as an explaination without question.
