Those ones join churches that subvert God's word and plan to say, "God says", sexually active gay is OK.Interesting point of view.
The full statement is this (and yes, I can see that the immediate context is heterosexual marriage):
11 But He said to them, “Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this, let him accept it.”
I have a friend who is gay but has chosen celibacy because that's not what God designed, effectively becoming a eunuch. I see what they've given up "for the sake of the Kingdom of God": Not only sexual pleasure, but love, companionship, and intimacy. Here I am in the comfort of a happy (very heterosexual, thank you for asking) marriage; how can I not greatly respect those who willingly set those comforts aside to follow Jesus?
The one who is able to accept this, let him accept it. What of those who are not able to accept it?
And they likely carry a copy of the queen James bible .
