Homosexuality & Religion

I want to be straight. I believe in God and the Church. I want to be accepted by God and the Church. It's wrong to like the same gender, it's wrong. It's a sin. Why couldn't I JUST like the opposite gender/sex? I know I can practice celibacy I probably will but it's so unfair, why did I have to feel this way? As a woman I like men and women but I like women more and I didn't do anything to keep feeling this way. I do wish I could go somewhere to be fixed. I tell myself all the time I was born a girl because God wants for me to do well as a girl, that's why, to overcome misogyny and sexism and prove myself. But why same sex attraction? WHY!? Why is it even so wrong? Why is my greatest sin my love for another? I promise it's not lust, REALLY ITS NOT! I want to love and to be loved? I know God overcomes that. Even still I feel guilty about my feelings, they say acting on it is wrong so I don't, but then people judge me for feeling it. And If I don't get married I won't complete my sacraments, and the church is in opposition of homosexual individuals being nuns and in such positions so what am I. Of course I could continue to not acknowledge it and pray and pray but it makes me feel guilty. I wish I were straight. I hope God doesn't can forgive my feelings, I know he knows my heart, I know he believes me. At least I sure do hope so.
