An understandable though silly response.

The quotes above are out of context. Isiah was not talking about homosexuality.
In Romans, Paul actually condemns homosexual acts by heterosexual people. It
is natural for gay people to be attracted to the same sex. What is condemned
in the passage is going against one's natural inclination.
