If god think's it's wrong to be gay, then why does he create people as gay?
As the OP pointed out being gay is NOT a person's choice, so why the fuck did god create them gay? I'd like any religious believer to answer this question.
I'm not gonna accept 'because it's a test' . You might as well rephrase your answer as 'because god is an asshole'.

BTW I think people who say being gay is unnatural need to go and look at nature. I'm sure they wouldn't refuse a blowjob eh? Technically that's just as unnatural as fucking someone in the ass, the only difference is that you won't get poo on your weiner.

You believe that being gay is not a choice. They were made like that to stay like that. But, here's the thing:

To my knowledge, there is no definitive answer on whether or not homosexuality is entirely genetic. I do agree with medical studies which support that there can be a genetic/biological foundation for homosexuality. What I don't believe, however, is the idea that the biological hardwiring is the one and only cause for a person's homosexuality. The correlation between the environment and sexual orientation is too obvious to deny and the fact that there are many people who have completely stopped being homosexual and thus no longer desire such relationships is proof that there is a large psychological element to the "condition." Furthermore, the issue of whether or not homosexuality is purely rooted in biological structure is debated even by the scientific community.

Again, I admit that there may a genetic component to the issue, but not the degree that it makes it impossible for them to stop having such relationships or that they cannot ever change themselves. I don't think that homosexuality is entirely genetic, and while genes are important there is also the nurture aspect of this argument which is being somewhat ignored. There could be a genetic link to almost any other human qualities, but still, this doesn't have to mean that we are always going to be slaves to the genes or that we don't have a choice in deciding whether we want to live with a male or a female.

For example, scientists have discovered that there is a gene for anger, a gene for happiness, and recently, even a gene for altruism.

So, what's the difference if there's a "gay gene"?
The point is that such studies which support the idea of linking an X gene to an X trait and then make the implication as if we are not responsible for those behaviors at all, is not always valid, IMO.
