Christianity; the World's Most Violently Persecuted Religion

[Sheldon]

I disagree, to say gay sexual desire is fine, as long as you live a lie, and deny who you are by never acting on it, is a condemnation of being gay. It tells gay people there is something wrong with them if they act on on their innate sexual desires. Sex between consenting adults who happen to be gay harms no one, that's a simple fact. 

It's possible you're being a tad anachronistic here. The Bible doesn't condemn being gay, because the concept of being gay didn't exist yet. It doesn't say anything about "innate sexual desires."
The word "homosexuality" was coined in the 19th century.
What the Bible condemns is sodomy. 
The ancient world had different categories. They didn't distinguish between gay and straight, they distinguished between the one who puts it in and the one who gets it put in. Generally the one who put it in was not looked down on, no matter where he put it in. The one who had it put in, if he was a man, was considered to be overly weak and passive. Not a "real man." 
Julius Caesar would not be mocked for fucking male slaves, but he would be mocked for getting sodomized and liking it.
Interpretations of the Bible according to modern categories are anachronistic. And I'm aware that lots of Christians do this too.

I'm not interested in discussing your version of gay, thanks.
