I’m gay and don’t want to mess things up

I’ve looked at this issue since I was 13. I was raped at Las Vegas and was told to think that my trauma was a cause of my homosexuality. But the more I looked into the bible, the more things got confusing. Homosexuality is mentioned in the Bible typically with sexual contexts: Noah and Ham (Genesis 9:20-27); Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:1-11); Leviticus laws (Leviticus 18:22, 20:13); male prostitution and pederasty (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; 1 Timothy 1:10); and the Cult of Isis in Rome (Romans 1:26-27).
Not much on orientation, but explicit enough.

Adam and Eve. 1 Corinthians 6:9. 1 Thessalonians 4:5. Colossians 3:5. I know about the principles of marriage in 1 Corinthians 7.

Man and woman.

No versed point toward orientation and no verses imply that same sex attraction was ever meant to be. It’s not portrayed in a positive way. All I’m doing at this point is just questioning the bible and God, hoping the answer changes.
