Is Homosexuality (the orientation) a sin?

This thread can serve as a conduit to a discussion between these different views.

The fundamental baptist position would be that

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived : neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

1st Corinthians 6:9-10

I would note that this verse points out not only those who engage in homosexual acts, but those who would claim such a predilection. This contrasts with, for instance, drunkards vs alcoholics and represents the only sin on that list which is specifically called out thusly in both an active and passive sense. Which would make sense, since God basically nuked Sodom and Gomorrah for this sin, documenting his specific hatred of this.
