Me calling folks fornicators who have said they are has nothing to do with them stopping.
What do I need proof for to say that homosexual fornicators are fornicating?
Because fornication refers to pre-marital sex, hence couples that live in a state that allows gay marriage are able to be wed and no longer fornicate.
Please don't let us get into definitions...I BEG YOU!
By the way all, I'm actually liking this flow of questions...I think asking questions is a better way of getting someone to hear what you're saying than just stating the same opinion over and over and over...
Anywho...

I think it would be silly of me to assume that ALL people have wrestled with this. Some people just never really stop to think about it. Some people do what they want, when they want, simply because they can. To say all people wrestle with issues of morality when it comes to sex is just not reasonable in my opinion, and I'm not limiting my comments here to just homosexuals. My comments are about people regardless of sexual orientation.
Sexuality is such a huge part of human nature that it is pretty safe to say that a lot of thought, consideration and concern goes towards it.
It has a lot to do with what society tells you as well.
Even a heterosexual who finds that they have an interest in a certain sex act will have even small doubts and concerns if they've spent they're lives thus far being told that it isn't normal.
We're all post-sexual revolution now, but there is still enough stigma and inhibitions in society that any personal revelation about one's sexual tastes will involve some soul-searching...if only subconciously.
When it comes to realizing that you are attracted to the same sex, it involves a HUGE range of feelings. I don't think there is a gay or bisexual person in the world who just woke up realizing that this was their sexual identity and went about their buisness without a second thought.
When it comes to sexuality, it isn't just a matter of people 'doing what they want.' You can only apply that to the actual choice to act upon one's desires, whereas sexual identity itself is so much less black and white than that. It isn't even limited to sexual identity.
And this leads me to another question...
Do you believe that it is necessary to establish our own identity to be content?
