OP, this man might help you. I do feel sorry for anyone whose body does not match up with their mind and desires. Reading how others deal with it will help you more than asking people who do not experience it. God bless.
And not to be vicious, this has worked so well for so many in the priesthood...a little snark now and again is good for the soul.

And not every "christian" is an evangelical-fundie. In fact, not everyone with a golden-ticket to heaven is "christian" or reads the KJV or ANY bible for that matter....

As to your #2 above, why would I preach the first commandment to anyone since the ten commandments were given only to Israel to follow along with the blessings and curses?

Overpopulation can be reigned in by homosexuality since it will depopulate a country due to the spread of HIV and AIDS. But I certainly wouldn't go that route. If you have any children, would you want them to get HIV or AIDS?
Makes me wonder if the ENTIRE Old Testament isn't written for ISRAEL??

Except studies do not show that at all really, and where they do they are studies showing a correlation at best. They in no way normalize for, or explore, the sources of suicide and mental health issues. So anti homosexual campaigners will simply leap on the correlation and attempt to link the two. Not for one minute stopping to think that thinks like their hatred and campaigns......... or homosexuals repressing who they really are in order to conform.......... are strong sources of depression and suicide.

As long as you people keep railing on them and hating them and calling them everything from immoral to sinful or hell bound or whatever..... you will keep the suicide and depression rates high.... and will in turn use those rates against them. There is blood on the hands of such people and not only do they not care.... many of them do not even know.

Here I agree with you. I mean, personally I think women are crazy. I hear one of them saying something like "isn't he just gorgeous?" and I look at the guy she's talking about and I'm waiting for the punch line, you know?

I realized that there are some guys that are crazy the same way one day when I was talking to an acquaintance who would have to be classified as bi-sexual, I guess, and I make no excuse, he had all the morals of a cat. He said "Man, I really think women's "plumbing" is great, but for a beautiful body, it's a guy's body every time." After I picked my jaw up, I realized that there are some people who just don't operate with the same perceptions I do.
