There’s also nothing morally problematic about having same-sex or opposite-sex inclinations.

I'd say that Jesus disagrees with this teaching:

Mathew 15: 17-19
17. Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

18. But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

19. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

20. These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
So, it is not the mere physical action that defiles a man, but the evil desire that proceeds out of that man's heart. To teach otherwise is to deny the words of Christ.

Now we know who to seek for infallible bible interpretation...../s

You pretend that "attraction" = "evil desire".

The "evil desire" would be wanting to ACT on the "attraction".

Every TEMPTATION is NOT sin.

So, quit with the "deny the words of Christ" nonsense.
