The teachings of Christianism were created by a society of long ago which saw homosexuality as a bad thing. That's why people should always think well about the things they're taught, they can't just accept them without giving it a second thought. It's like me telling you to jump off a bridge and you doing it right away just because I told you so.
Yes I have jumped off many bridges too. The main problem with me was not that I couldn?t think for myself, it was that every time I did my faith would die a little. Then I realized that my main concern was not getting into heaven, but avoiding hell. I can accept the fact that this life is all I got but I don?t want to burn in hell for eternity. Of course when I discovered this was my motivation for my faith, I instantly pronounced my religiousness dead because I was not even following it right so what was the point.
