Only bisexuals choose who to enjoy sex with. If you think otherwise, then you are either bisexual or when you try choosing to willfully change your orientation, you will find that it cannot be done. Some people theorize that most people who identify as straight have some degree of attraction to the same sex, but usually not enough to be of consequence. For those, sexual orientation may feel like a choice, but it is not. You just have to be near 100% attracted to 1 sex or the other to intuitively understand this.
Most people understand that an alcoholic who chooses not to drink is still an alcoholic. To use your word, it is practically innate. If you think that someone can change that, then you do not understand addiction, and then I understand that you did not contradict yourself, you were simply wrong about 2 things.
Repenting and giving yourself to God does not change your nature. This dedication suppresses base instincts. If a person's faith/dedication wavers, then their nature reasserts itself.
This may be one thing that we can agree on, to some degree. In defensive driving, if you do not want to run into something, then do not look at it. But lying about human nature begets more lies. The correct thing to do is to understand it correctly, and not use imperfect shortcuts to understanding which are true in some cases and false in other cases. This situation is why Christianity lost to LGBT activists, and Christianity is not going to come back to any significant degree if this persists.
God changes your drive/motivation, the base human instincts are suppressed, and it might seem like they are gone. After the so called transformation, they are just hidden. Hidden does not mean gone. This is why sinners are always sinners.
I have written about the pendulum effect recently. Yes, Christianity can make a comeback while being partially supported by lies, not unlike political ideologies. However, if it is not grounded in truth, the pendulum swings the other way eventually. So ask yourself how long you want Christianity to be dominate next time. Children are natural born experts in detecting hypocrisy from their parents, so think in terms of generations. I do not use the "right side of history" cliche. It is usually used by people who are not. The people who write the history books are not competent arbiters of truth. Unfortunately, it attracts people who are motivated to distort the truth, usually because of bias.
I am just not compartmentalizing topics. I do not fit all of my research on a topic into what can be told in a Sunday sermon. You should know that very little of what we have discussed is directly supported by the bible, as in clearly spelled out or no interpretation required. Many denominations exist because of different interpretations, and whenever you add politics, anthropology, and specific techniques, you are well into "extra biblical" territory.
