It has been known for millennium that some people have had desires for the opposite sex . The Bible is pretty consistent on the topic for the 2000 years it spans--always discussing the act.

What I meant was: christians say that homosexuality is a sin, and then when it's shown that it's not a choice. Then it's illogical for it to be a sin, so they reinterpret their scripture and say: no, the sin was acting upon the desires. I can be wrong, but I've seen such happen in many instances. Anyway, some people above have said good things against the statement that only acting upon the desires is a sin.

From what I understand, the people of the bible didn't have a conception of sexual orientation like we do today, so what they objected to was the act. It's probably an overlay of more recent culture that the orientation itself is wrong or sinful, if it derives from Christianity at all.
