Anyone who has trusted Christ will hate sin and will have a strong desire to live righteously. As a born again believer, our sins are mostly in the head before they become actions. We confess thoughts so that they do not turn into actions.
Those who refuse to turn from sin, justifying it, defending it and refusing to admit that they are sinning, cannot be born again, because we can only become born again by confessing that we are sinner and have become broken hearted over our sin. Those who have never been broken over their sin, even saying they weren't so bad, cannot be born again. There are many in the church today, who like their sin, defend it and fight to justify themselves. These people have never been changed into a new creation, they are still the old mess, that is on their way to hell.
If someone claims to be a Christian, but refuses to forsake his sin, then he is not born again. God changes the heart, what we used to love when we were unsaved, we now hate and desire to be cleansed.
If a homosexual comes to Christ he will begin to be disgusted by the sin of homosexuality and run from it. Even if he is tempted a few more times, he will hate it and eventually and even quickly get out of it.
Here is the scripture! Isaiah 55:7 "Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the LORD, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon."
1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,"
