AFAIK scholars don't consider being sexually attracted to the same gender as a sin, they do however consider that acting upon that sexual attraction is a sin.
Al-Bukhaari (5269) and Muslim (127) also narrated from Abu Hurayrah
(may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah, may He be glorified and exalted,
will forgive my ummah for whatever crosses their minds so long as they
do not act upon it or speak of it.”
Resisting thoughts of carrying out sinful actions is rewarded, this proofs that sinful thoughts do not gain incur sin and the urges that we experience also do not define who we are.
Al-Bukhaari (6491) and Muslim (131) narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may
Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) said, relating from his Lord, may He be glorified
and exalted: “Allah decreed good deeds and bad deeds, then He
explained that. Whoever thinks of doing a good deed then does not do
it, Allah will write it down as one complete good deed. If he thinks
of doing a good deed and then does it, Allah [may He be glorified and
exalted] will write it down between ten and seven hundred fold, or
many more. If he thinks of doing a bad deed then he does not do it,
Allah will write it down as one complete good deed, and if he thinks
of it then does it, Allah will write it down as one bad deed.”
There has been an experiment were homosexual pornographic films were shown to heterosexual men, some got aroused some didn't, those who did, still considered them selves as heterosexual, therefore it could be that a minor attraction can be there but a person building upon it may make them think that it isn't a choice but developing that attraction i.e. increasing would be considered a sin.(Sorry can't find source)
Allah wants to make clear to you [the lawful from the unlawful] and
guide you to the [good] practices of those before you and to accept
your repentance. And Allah is Knowing and Wise. Allah wants to accept
your repentance, but those who follow [their] passions want you to
digress [into] a great deviation. And Allah wants to lighten for you
[your difficulties]; and mankind was created weak. [Quran 4:26 - 4:28]
The fact of the matter is, that whether it is a choice or not, giving in to it is a sin, Muslims might be attracted to something by nature or not but God sets the guidelines as to whether it can be pursued and how.
That which we cannot pursue would always have a reason behind it, we may know what it is, we may not therefore sometimes we hypothesise, but ultimately God knows best.
“And it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that
you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not
know.” (AI-Baqarah, 2:216)
