It doesn't matter if you ascribe to the "I was born with it" or "I chose it later" theory; homosexuality is still a sin.

To the point of the original post, a previous poster (Coonskinner) said one of the most insightful things, IMO. I'm paraphrasing here, but he said that homosexuality is the ultimate worship of self--because instead of being attracted to one's opposite, complimentary gender, homosexuals are attracted to their own image. Homosexuality is rooted in narcissism.
I don't agree that this is a universal staement.
There are homosexuals who are not narcissistic, but are hurting, confused.
