I think that Drew's point needs to be considered.

Homosexual behviour is not damaging to society. So whether it can or cannot be changed is not an important issue.
I do not think this is accurate at all. I will not list the fact that it goes against what God says, and what God has designed for men and women, and for the parenting of children. This the main reason, and it should tell us that we will not even understand all the consequences of this sin. Secondly, I know that other sin, and lusts, produce similar, and other consequences to individuals, and society, as well. I think fornication, and adultery, are two that seem to be more accepted, when they should not be. That being said, let me continue.
1. Homosexuality has split families. Husbands leaving wives for this specific lust, and wives leaving husbands for it, and in some cases adulterous behaviour that has led to bringing aids to a spouse.
2. Parents turning their backs on homosexual children, and leaving them to fend for themselves as runaways, or just simply kicking them out.
3. Children defying their parents, and dishonoring them to pursue this lust, and never once considering that their parents were trying to protect them.
4. The aids epidemic has cost many homosexuals their lives, and caused them to take the lives of others.
5. The lifestyle promotes unprotected sexual situations, which leads to aids, and other stds.
6. Various health conditions arise out of this perversion of intercourse. Rectal cancer, emotional instability, and so on.
7. Homosexuals have a short life expectancy, and have a high rate of things such as depression, eating disorders, drug abuse, and so on.
8. The homosexual agenda is exploiting those caught up with this lust, and encouraging them in a dangerous lifestyle.
9. Other secondary organizations are also exploiting those engaged in this lust.
10. Government Money is spent on medical programs to support those who have contracted aids for whatever reason. A primary, and secondary, effect.
11. Aids, as a secondary effect, has crept into heterosexual life, and into the lives of our children through blood transfusions, pregnancy, needles, open sores, and so on.
12. Homosexuality has torn at the fabric of our nation on certain hot topics such as gay marriage, and has caused much prejudice and hate from both sides of the issue.
13. Now, our schools, and churches, are indoctrinating children, and adults, with acceptance, and normalization, of this lust. Which encourages more people to do it, and fall victim to the effects of it. And, the spiritual consequences result in another deception of satan.
14. Some homosexuals are now "trying" to contract aids to get medical disability, drugs, and free health care...because they are deceived into thinking it is not so bad with all the medicines.
15. Homosexuality is often the result of emotional trauma's, and issues, of an individual who is suffering, and does not need sin as an answer, but healing and compassion.
I do not think that this is all of the effects, and I am sure that not all can even be seen, especially when we speak to children growing up in same sex marriages, and being so indoctrinated with the acceptance...to the point of their own involvement...with a lust of the flesh that is outside of God's plan of marriage, and family.
The Lord bless you.
