While there are people who did acknowledge the fact that they are born 'gay' (if there are any truth in that statement) and eventually choose to be in a same sex relationship, there are still many out there who don't and continue to be in the mainstream. It's always an uphill task but hey, it's worth it. There is nothing strange about thinking that one might be gay. The issue has been around since time immemorial. But truly, if one chooses the path of religion, then these are but the trials and tribulations one must go through. There are different tests for different people; lets face it: The Almighty is but fair to all His subjects. After all did the Prophet not say that the World is but a State of Sufferings and Trials (Addunya Darul Bala' Wal Imtihan). Famine, Poverty, Political Unrest, Sexual Confusion - these are all designed to test people; to see whether they are worthy of God's Pleasure. Some got it worse than others: Prophets and Messengers got the bulk of it - persecution, alienation, suffering. Read the stories of Abraham and Ayob (Job) and Yunus (Jonah) and Isa (Jesus). And Prophet Muhammad SAW. Theirs are but bigger tales of Misery and Suffering. Look in the Quran if you're religious - who are the Ashabul Yamin ie the Companions of the Right; the righteous people? and who qualifies for God's Love and Mercy? Read and Think. It is never a sin to love your brethren. Remember that in your head. Lust and confused sexuality is a totally different issue and they are no diffence when it comes to lust; homo or hetero. A man on the street lusts after all the women that he sees as much as any gay man does all the men he sees and both straight and gay lusters are tested just the same. If one chooses the religious path, the path of God and the Prophet SAW, then these are the tests that one has to go through gay or straight. I know for a fact that men in their 40s who chose the straight life -the Prophet's way- who were once confused adolescents still have lifelong battles to fight with their sexuality. But therein lies God's Love and mercy; you can only attain God's Pleasure by fighting for what you believe in. Fight for the Love and Pleasure of God and the Prophet even if you have to enter the thousand-year war. And only you can bask in the Glory if you know you have defeated and conquered your confusion.
