I think from scripture, the answer is plainly yes.
Why would it be different for homosexuals who have such feelings toward people of their own gender... whether they act on those feelings or not?

The difference is that "lusting after a woman" involves lusting after a single woman, or at least the woman of the moment. Men who are happily married can still be said to "desire women" simply because their wife IS a woman. Same with someone with "gay" feelings. They "desire" those of the same sex -and can without ogling and "lusting" after an individual.
