allah knows everything
therefore if ppl really could not help being gay and they cud not change it...allah would have known that and anything that cannot be helped or changed is from allah... and Allah wud not have made it haraam because if u cant help somehting it means it is natural ...homosexuality is clearly not somehting that falls in the category of being natural..iof it was natural than homosexuals would be able to procreate....which they are clealry not able to do
therefore
i believe that homosexuals can change the way they are, the way they feel and the way they think...they just brainwash themselves that they were born that way and they cannot help it .....which makes it hard for them to change
it is wrong to get a gay person married to a woman if u do not tell the woman that the guy is gay ...and it may not ruin two lives it may actually save the one that has lost his way
as for ur quesiton abt do we have to criticize them...? maybe that is not the best route to take..i think ppl do it because (1) it is unacceptable in our religion and culture and (2) we may feel like if we criticize enough it may bring abiut a desire in the person to change and become hetrosexual

"Is it fair to be someone who you are not?" **
if u truly cud not help being homosexual it wud be unfair.,..but since i believe that u CAN in fact help it..then it is not unfair to try to get someone who is homosexual to change
"They are human beings too and they have every right to live their life the way they want to. Please do not treat them like dogs"
it is the right of the families of homosexuals to intervene...but u are right others have no right to judge them...allah has not given us the right to judge our fellow man no matter what...even if we consider them to not be muslim we have no right to treat them like dogs...
however it is ok if someone does not wish to socialize with or sit by someone who is homosexual..why is it ok? because its their choice just like someone may not want to socialize with alcoholics or adulterers... it doesnt mean that u hate the ppl doing such things it just means u do not like the act
Islam condemns homosexuality as most of us are aware of but my question is, can a person really change the way they are? Can they change the way they feel? How can a parent disown their child because they're not straight. One of my English friend is gay and his mom was fine with it. He was upset about how she would feel and the fact that he would be letting her down. I quote what she said to him " You are my son and I still love you no matter what". Why can't we accept that you cannot force yourself to like someone? Isn't it wrong to get a gay person to marry a woman? You ruin 2 peoples lives. Do we have to constantly criticise peoples sexual orientation?Is it fair to be someone who you are not?
Is the reason for desi people ridiculing such members of our society a result of lack of tolerance, lack of education or plain ignorance? They are human beings too and they have every right to live their life the way they want to. Please do not treat them like dogs :)
Thanks
