Except, of course, that gay people aren't sinning in a strictly moral, non religious sense.
Notice that in the article that Jesus also, when he knelt in the sand with the woman, he said "go and sin no more."
Just saying there has to be a mechanism in place for recognizing that there is behavior that is sinful, and advising people to stop behaving that way.
Jesus are with prostitutes and befriended them, while also recognizing that such behavior was sinful. I think the issue is that homosexual people don't want to be told that they are acting sinfully.
If we're gonna reconcile this with Jesus, it's probably that, while it was sinful to be a prostitute, he didn't differentiate between those people and rich people who sinned by not caring for the poor, or people who lie to their spouses, etc. In our society, homosexuality carries a much bigger stigma than those infractions.
The problem is that you are arguing from a secular standpoint and trying to prove that you are right. Anyone else arguing from a theological standpoint will feel that they are right as well. Secularism charges and flows with the trends of society. Theological viewpoints stay the same throughout time for the most part. At least they are supposed to. I'm sure I am over simplifying that somehow...So god creates a segment of people that are inherently attracted to the same sex and completely unattracted to the opposite sex. Then god says, but don't act on it.
Awesome job at being god.
I don't think everyone agrees that sociological elements don't have anything to do with homosexuality. No "gay gene" has ever been found by the human genome project.So god creates a segment of people that are inherently attracted to the same sex and completely unattracted to the opposite sex. Then god says, but don't act on it.

Well if you aren't religious then why would a religious interpretation mean anything to you? This entire article and thread is approaching the issue from a religious perspective though.Unless of course you don't actually believe in the concept of sin.
He also said "Don't commit adultery either" but we have urges to do that.So god creates a segment of people that are inherently attracted to the same sex and completely unattracted to the opposite sex. Then god says, but don't act on it.
