Christians believe the bible is the inspired word of God, and in the bible says homosexuality is a sin. There are separate arguments to be had over the existence of God, the divinity of the teachings in the bible, old testament vs new testament, etc. etc.

We have control of other sins... we can control whether or not we dress appropriately (yes dressing like a ho is a "sin").. we have control whether or not we cheat on our spouse...we can control whether or not we say GODDAMNIT... but we cant control who we love...

shouldnt be getting into a religious debate... but I guess thats gonna happen in this context, because there is no non religious reason to object to t his.
