adams -“From a frum perspective, the gay person if they are from the Orthodox community, should make efforts to change the behavior, (or attraction?) but what should they do if they cannot win that battle?”

Then they aren’t Frum anymore!

“I can see them being pressured in shidduchim and having a problem. I am assuming that most of these folks are in the closet. So in a way, it would be better to let them be out of the closet thereby not forcing them in the normative Shidduchim parsha.”

Pressure and forcing are two different things. If s/o doesn’t like people of the opposite gender -they shouldn’t marry until, if they can, work out their issues.

“I have heard of a couple of such folks who do not engage in actual act of prohibited but simply prefer their company.

I don’t say I have proof that this is so but from what I read they are genuine Ye’ras Shomayim oriented.”

This to me is a Chiddush, but if it’s true -these are the minority.

Most Frum people that I know that became this way -aren’t what you call Frum anymore.

“Would there in fact be an Avairah, if they lived withhout that particular act?”

I’m not a Poisek, but I think the S’A says the Issur of Yichud would apply.
