Using modern parlance, he had an orientation but denied the practice of that orientation. Being oriented toward homosexuality and practicing homosexuality are two different things (and I'm often guilty of blurring the two). The former is neither good nor evil, but should serve as a reminder of human frailty and personal brokenness, much like Paul's "thorn in the flesh". The latter, however, is an unacceptable behavior for Christians. God considers it a sin. Many people might have a problem with this distinction, but that's okay.
