This is a very good question. The only right answer is the one the Bible gives. Homosexuality is among the various lists of "sins" in the Bible. I understand the feeling of helplessness or inability to stop, but that does not make something less a sin. Ever since God laid down the Law, people have been trying to get around it.
Over the years, there have been "experts" who claimed homosexuality, alcoholism, murder, pedophilia, theft, violence, beasteality and other unaccepted behavior were the result of some condition, mania, birth defect or genetic predisposition. None of them have ever met the standards to be used in court, let alone God's standards.
How, then, should Christians treat homosexuals? With love! Just like every other human sin condition, once someone receives Christ, he has the ability to resist sin, and eventually, Jesus will work in him to will and to do God's will. I'm always of the mind to be someone's friend no matter what his life is like. Then, when he's seeking God, I'll be around to help. If I'm judgemental or distant, I don't leave myself in a position to help when the person is ready for help.
Well, I hope that helped.
