I love how Christians are bigots who believe that perhaps it is against God's will that homosexuality is an acceptable practice in his eyes, though they still defend the rights of homosexuals.

I can't help myself but point out this technical issue.

Christians who believe that homosexuality is against God's will don't believe in omnipotence of God, which is basically equal to not believing in God at all.

If it was against God's will then it wouldn't exists, would it?

Yeah, "against God's will" might not be the best way to say it. I think it's more accurate to explain this way:

God does allow people to sin, even if it's wrong. That's probably a concept you're familiar with? Like, you know we believe it?

People come in all ways. Some of my grandparents had problems with alcohol. Some people have problems with anger. Other with pride, etc.

Not all desires are good.

Not all sexual desires are good.

Some people have problems with not-good sexual desires (see above).

Some of those bad sexual desires are homosexual in nature.

Modern concepts of identity have made those desires into an immutable part of a person's identity, which they believe they can not and should not forsake.

Many Christians disagree with that last part.

Well if an event can happen then there are two possible scenarios.

1. God allows it to happen, which basically means it is God's will as God must have designed the possibility for such event to occur.

2. God has no control over it, which would negate omnipotence.
