Is it a sin that the whole LGBT thing just doesnt bother me at all?

It depends on what you mean by the "whole LGBT thing".

ACTIONS are the sins. Not attraction. You can't control who you have a crush on, you can control how you act on it.

Actually, you can. Instead of looking at an actor/actress and saying in your mind "he'/she's hot," you can edit yourself and say something like "I respect him/her," or "God's creation is beautiful," or "I appreciate their beauty," and then have your thoughts move onto something else. Same with people you know. Same with anyone.

True, but "romantic crush" isn't the same thing as "lust". I got plenty of romantic crushes as a kid for instance but it certainly wasn't "lust".

What is a romantic crush in your opinion? Admiration for a person with no sexual thoughts? Showing affection to a person without any flirtation? Because a romantic crush is when you think too much about a person and want to show your affections for them in a flirtatious and sensual way. Hence why when someone takes you out to dinner, does nice gestures for you to like them, and goes beyond a normal friendship (talking about a future with you), that is considered them having a romantic crush and visa versa.

I had "romantic crushes" for fictional characters and such since I was around 4 years old, long before I knew what "sensual" or "flirtatious" even was.

So, again, explain the nature of a romantic crush. Btw, grammatically speaking, when you use quotes around words that aren't from sources it implies sarcasm. I don't think you mean them sarcastically do you?
