"God made me gay" is fallacy, plain and simple.
"God made me human, with human dignity and grace, beautiful and ordered, like Him, deserving of the everlasting communion and union of bliss." This is the truth.

No, here you are wrong.
A gay is made with human dignity and grace, beautiful and ordered, exactly as a not-gay one. Some gay behaviours are not ordinate, exacly as many heterosex behaviours are not ordinate.
To be gay is a difficoulty to live in this world.
It is not a easyness to sin, while when God gives a cross, He gives also the grace.
Anyway, for a gay people, the discussion bout the origin of homosexuality (genetic, sins, psycologial, childer traumas) is not important. The fact is that a gay falls in love with other men (without any willing in it). Here and now. And you shall follow Chirst: here and now .

I am not wrong, for I speak what Mother Church speaks. I will not debate this. If you want to confuse the truth, that is your matter. I have said all I have to say about this. Any further, and I will merely be repeating myself.

Okay, perhaps a middle ground here. God creates us in that he is the source of our spiritual soul, which is perfect (what we are meant to be) which makes us in the image of God and gives us eternal life (the being in the image of God is primarily in our spiritual soul according to the Baltimore Catechism). But we are born into a sinful world, suffer the effects of original sin and can have inborn defects and problems which don't mar our soul (missing a limb for example) but are realities of a fallen world.

People are one in nature (the body and spiritual soul) but in part come from this world and the sin and natural events and causes and then on the other hand a creation of God in His image.
