Believe in God?
If so then you may be just going to the wrong Church.
List of Gay Affirming Churches: http://www.gaychurch.org/find_a_church/f...church.htm Its an interaction type thing where you can narrow you search parameters by nation, state, region whatever.
You know there are 6 verses used to condemn and persecute gays. There are other interpretations of those verses and in many cases those verses are taken out of context and are not condemnation of gay, love filled relationships, but are condemning other things like temple prostitution - where sex was used to worship other gods (Such as Molech Worship - which Leviticus is talking about).
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&output=sear...97&bih=859 There are a lot of sites that discuss this other interpretations and also give a better understanding of the history and cultures of the ancient times.
While the words are Homosexual, Bisexual, Heterosexual they are not emphasized as homoSEXual, biSEXual, heteroSEXual.
There is a lot more to human sexuality than just the sex act, sex is part of a complex series of emotions, sex does more for us than just insure procreation, it also insures we find someone to be with, a companion and allows us to get intimately close and try to express that deep love we have.
Who and what are you? I can't say. That is ultimately up to you to decide based on what you are comfortable with.
I suspect in an open, tolerant world where LGBT is a non-issue that you would most likely side with the gay team. However you don't live in that world, thus are struggling against the preconceived and often twisted and hurtful programing that this world offers when it comes to human sexuality.
Eventually you will find that one person who you want to be with forever and being with them will decide for you what you are.
