This is referred to in the scriptures as “repentance”.
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
I’m not sure if I would look at that the same way as you.
To be specific - I have run into some “repentant” gay men (online in religion forums) - who recognized their sin and chose to leave that life behind them.
But they were still “gay”.
And part of their repentence was choosing to not live with another man. To not visit their “bookstores” - that sort of thing.
But it didn’t change their attraction to men.

“Honestly I am shocked and amazed that California voted
against gay marrige.”
It’s not the first time.
An initiative saying marriage was just between a man and a woman
was passed with something like 73% YES maybe six or seven years ago.
IN CALIFORNIA.
The reason for the protests is to scare anyone with an opinion to theirs.
And set the stage to muzzle the majority of Californians.
Once they go “forum shopping” again and get the issue on the California
ballot a third time.
Right now they simply can’t handle losing on the second try with all
the gazillion dollars they, the California teachers and other groups
poured in to the “NO” campaign.
It doesn't. This is going to incur the wrath of God.
Some people believe in reincarnation--those two must have come straight from Hell.
It's not going to be funny when the black community fights back. They voted Yes on 8.
The only people to profit from homosexual unions will be the divorce lawyers, I swear.
Yeah; wasn’t that just BIZARRE? Nothin’ like being on your best behavior on national TV. Not!
They can fight each other now. My money is on the black community. They will prevail.
I guess you haven’t encountered a vicious queen. Merciless.
One of these days someone is going to turn around and give them something they aren't expecting to get--a one way ticket to Hell.
I've seen my share. They are no match for the black gangs. One phone call, and they will be the new security force at your friendly local black church...and they S-S-S (shoot, shovel and shut up).
