Thank you for your response, and for your faith. I don't pretend to be beyond confusion, either, or without sin. But I do believe the Gospel tells us far less about a "homosexual lifestyle" than it does about the fundamental truth that all people (slave and free, Jew and Greek, male and female) are beloved and inseparable parts of one body. I believe that our own desires to cast out those we feel to be impure are, in every instance, instances of human weakness, overturned by Jesus' insistence on the wholeness of creation.
My own struggle is not to practice any lifestyle, but to do a life's work as a human being--- that is, to obey the two commandments summarized by Jesus as containing everything we need: love God, and love your neighbor.
May God bless you and have mercy on us all.
