won2blv : "Some say that if I were gay it would be a choice, not natural. They might reason that they see no practical sense in why I would be attracted to the same sex, probably using their own personal experience as a reference point. But I am sure most atheist here would agree that if I were gay that it would most likely be my natural orientation. So why couldn't an atheist see that they might not understand a spiritually minded person from their own experience but that doesn't disqualify that persons spiritual orientation."
Well , if we could rewind the clock - say 100,000 years - and imagine that the concept of god has not reared it's cosmic head into human culture yet. Let history play itself out again. Do you think we would rediscover Jehovah or Krishna ? Or would we discover a whole new set of characters? Maybe paternalistic, maybe maternalistic this time? Perhaps skip the process and evolve an iron age secular world?
Now imagine two homosexuals in this hypothetical paleolithic. I think they would rediscover what many modern gay people figure out on their own.
This thought experiment leads me to a conclusion that religion is of the human imagination and homosexuality has a basis in nature.

God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
