I agree with your argument. If a particular behavior is a vice (or sin)
than a predisposition to engage in it, whether that predisposition is
caused by choice, nature or nurture, does not excuse it.
The argument I make is that same-gender intimacy, when it is part of an
adult loving domestic relationship. is not included in that category
(sin) as far as scripture is concerned.
