The issue is that being gay or straight is inherent, as much as skin or eye colour is. So you in effect are condemning those based on factors beyond their control. Very Christian of you. At best your religion requires the person who is "oriented" the incorrect way to either live a lie (and be damned for that) or be damned for following his nature. In other words life long celibacy or be damned for eternity. The person is damned for factors entirely beyond his or her control.
