The essence of LGBT as an identity didn't exist until the late 19th century when romanticism paired with darwinist sociology and biology reduced love to lust determined by genetics. Before that it was just old school pederasty and misdirected sexual impulses.

Only because you (be you male or female) are lusting over somebody because of physical appearance (be it male or female) doesn't mean you're immortally in love with that person. Love doesn't work that way. Hell, people were married off to someone they had never met by their parents for millennias. Those people learned to love each other. Why can't a so-called homosexual learn to love a person of the opposite sex?

Pro-tip: He or she can.
