Second, You clearly have a desire that's related to paying taxes. The desire for public service or to not go to jail for example or a desire to fulfill the social contract those are desires also again if a person in biblical times went around saying I'm willing to fuck another guy out of some related desire I'm pretty sure the response wouldn't be positive because they don't seem to have positive opinion of that act.

I was responding to your original argument that people who engage in homosexual acts are clearly, by implication, being maligned and penalized for being homosexuals.  In that context, if someone is maligned for the act, regardless of whether they have the sexual desires of someone with a homosexual sexual orientation, then your claim that the punishment of the act is an implied condemnation of homosexually oriented persons fails.  Not just any desire will do.

And I've already given you alternative guesses.  My guesses don't align with yours in every instance so the guesswork is not very telling.
 Actually I don't think it  fails because as I have said it's a clear case  that this culture condemns homosexuality as an act, so there is every reason that it's implied that expressed desires  or willingness to engage in the act due to other related desires would also be condemned  so far I don't see how any of your alternatives get around this. Just being honest with you here.
