Sorry, for as long as there has been written history, there have been gay and transgender people. You can't find a time without them. It's not about "sexual desire" any more than having blue eyes is about a choice (other than contact lenses).
the only way these beliefs are not totally terrible (they are) is if you can define this as an argument about choice and behavior. it allows people to delude themselves into thinking their treatment of others is ok.
this is the true failing of modern day conservative and/or evangelical christianity. their teachings have allowed the terrible treatment of a group of people that are no different from their neighbors. last i checked jesus was not very happy with the conservatives of his day.
