I, for instance, have OCD.
OCD is a disorder in which one has an odd passing thought (for instance, if you see a knife, and imagine stabbing someone with it) and dwells on said thought, trying to rationalize and make sense of it. The person with OCD will think about the thought and be given to anxiety and depression over it because they think that because they had that fleeting thought, they MUST be a serial killer, and so on so forth. This doesn't necessarily mean they want to stab someone with the knife, it just means they had a strange passing thought.
I was taught, that someone without OCD will get similar, maybe even exact same thoughts that someone with OCD will get, however, they are able to dimiss the thought and move on with their lives.
OCDers can even get homosexual thoughts, too.
Imagine that someone gets a homosexual thought
Then here comes Satan, and he entertains this thought, to where it eventually leads to a desire, and then that person goes about seeking to fulfill that desire.
See where I'm going?
It wasn't necessarily that the person wanted to be gay, it's simply that Satan toyed around with their desires.
That's how I see it anyway.
Satan will look for any way that he possibly can to cause people to sin against God.
...
I hope that helps you out.
Any more questions, and I'd be glad to assist! (:

OCD is moreso associated with constant handwashing, organizing things to be straight or even, and rituals like turning light switches down instead of up.
Also, the way you worded that post implies that anyone can have some "urge" to be gay. Homosexuality is a sexual attraction to the same gender, not some sudden "impulse" for gay buttsex.

The literal translation of the verse says "effeminate" rather than "homosexuals."
Although I guess you'll argue that I'm not using the "true" version of the Bible.
