Having spent 20 years of my life attempting to "repent," I can assure you that's not how it works. The attempt did help me build a relationship with God, though, until such time as it sunk in that He accepts me based on my heart, not based on the arbitrary standards of man.

But thanks for the advice.

Edit: BTW, you're going to want to say that it's not the standards of man, it's the standards of God, because the Bible says so. I advise against that, I know more about it than you do. Unless you really want to be educated as to how exactly the Bible, when understood without the lens of tradition or dogma, says nothing in condemnation of homosexuality. I've had that argument so many times I can copypasta it.
