29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
I would surmise that since homosexuals tend to view their couples as "man and woman", then their thoughts of lust toward another are likewise viewed by God as sin committed in their heart.
