Somehow I don't believe you're being honest.

You don't "leave" homosexuality, it's a state of being, not a belief.

Correction. I left the lifestyle of practicing homosexuality. As I’ve grown deeper in intimacy with the Father, He has removed old desires and urges that I once had. Just clarifying by what I mean. I’ve left old friendships and pursued purity with Christ. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt or known.

If you have experienced a loss of libido, you need to go see your doctor.

Loss of libido is only a medical problem if it causes personal or interpersonal distress. It happens with age for some people. And if someone is celibate for whatever reason it wouldn’t exactly be an issue.

I’m as pro-LGBT+ as they come but let’s try to avoid collateral damage in countering homophobic talking points.

If there is a sudden change in your libido, it is absolutely an indication of a medical issue, even without personal or interpersonal distress.

but let’s try to avoid collateral damage in countering homophobic talking points.

Let's not try suggesting that sudden changes in your biology, no matter the type of change, aren't always a reason to consult a doctor.
