If you were to lie (sin) to your wife or boss, would the Spirit immediately leave you and return upon repentance? I don't believe God leaves us so quickly unless we persist in sin. King David repented and beseeched God not to take his Spirit from him after his sins of adultery and murder were revealed. Some where a long the way, after a space of repentance (which could be years), God does take his Spirit from those who continually rebel against Him and they become what is called a reprobate.
Those struggling with the sin of homosexuality may still have the Spirit in them. The Spirit no doubt is grieved. But to openly live a sinful lifestyle and pass it off as approved of God is treading on the blood of Christ.
If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Heb 6:6
