No, those verses say that people who have sex with those of like gender are sinning when they do so, not that people who are of homosexual orientation are sinning by merit of their own sexual preference.

---

And thats any better?

Yes. You can choose whether or not you have sex with someone. You can't choose to whom you feel attracted.

You're new to this, aren't you?

Gay sex is a sin then?  
A sin it appears is comparable to being a thief or prostitute?

 

---

Is stealing a sin?

Is promiscuity a sin?

Id ask why the hell are they comparing pedophilia, a sick sexual practice, to homosexuality, I certainly hope you don't think there on a par

---

---

And btw, I never said incurable? and that implies homosexuality is a disease :S

---

You don't seem to want homosexuality compared to anything, What classification would you put it in? The Bible just puts it in the 'sin' category if you succumb to acting on those feelings.

I dont think it should be compared to a sin no, thats because I dont think it, or acting on it are in any way shape or form,

Do you disagree with me?

Why don't you think certain homosexual acts are sins?

Why on earth would acting on your sexual desires, towards another consenting human being, be wrong?  

---

Let's play a game.

Let's say there's this man, we'll call him Norman, and Norman has a sexual desire towards a twelve year old. The twelve year old consents to this.

By your standards, that's okay.

If you cant see a distinction between homosexuality and pedophilia then I think you have a problem

---

Sure, I see the distinction: one's still considered taboo and the other one is perfectly acceptable. You seem to think that neither should be.

Im slightly concerned your even comparing it to homosexuality to be honest

I kinda thought dont screw a child would be a given of things not to do on my description of what shouldnt be a sin...

Would you like to tell me where I said or implied pedophilia shouldn't be a taboo?!

It's plenty comparable. If you think homosexuality should be okay, I'd be willing to bet that your counterpart in several decades will be thinking pedophilia should be okay and complaining about people who say that it isn't. After all, if the twelve-year-old consents, by your definition, it's perfectly alright.
