If you believe the quran to be the word of god, and the word of god says homosexuality is wrong, how can you be a gay Muslim? I hate this cherry picking of ideals and rules to follow so many religious people choose to do. At least the fundamentalist nut jobs know what they believe in.That's normally what revisionist Muslims do.
However, the feeling of homosexuality itself is not sinful. It is only when you act upon the feeling that it becomes a sin because it is a temptation from the devil.

Prove to me that homosexuality is a temptation from the devil.
