When it comes to sexual sin, regardless of the avenue traveled (same sex or opposite sex), you are to control your own body. God's will is for us to be set apart from the patterns of this world. When you push God aside, you clear the way for lustful passions. Sometimes those passions are so strong and deceptive that you end up not only destroying your own life, but the lives of others as well. Even another believer. Remember, sexual sin is not a rejecting human teaching, it is rejecting God, the Creator of all things. You're telling Him, "You can't tell me what to do". The Lord always avenges these types of sins.
It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.
