If homosexuality is forbidden in Islam, then why did God create some people with homosexual tendencies if that will lead to their suffering and inability to satisfy their desires?
We do not agree with considering homosexual orientation natural; rather, it is a deviation from the natural human disposition (fitra), an abomination, and an transgression for which Allah punished the people of Lut with a severe torment. Their claim that this orientation is natural is a promotion of corruption, and many of them try to alter their creation to become deviant. Allah did not create anyone to torment them; rather, He created creation to worship Him. And Allah is too just to compel a servant to disobey and then punish them. Instead, disobedience is the act of the created being by their own choice, and for it, they deserve punishment.
