Point taken, but still, the mere thought is impure and I'm sure falls on the sin spectrum somewhere(I'm sure not where adultery itself lies). So wouldn't homosexual desires still be impure and unholy desires and therefore to some degree sinful?

I am just trying to see how the Church and others can reconcile the idea, as UtahDan put it, between impulse and action in two different sexual orientations.
