Homosexuality

I saw in an old interview with Rand that she thought of homosexuality as a perversion of the mind. I then saw recently in an interview with two scholars from ARU that that old take by Rand is not the same held by Objectivists today.

What is the view held by Objectivists with regards to homosexuality? I don't know what the thought on it today is but I tend to lean toward it being a symptom of incorrect thinking, an issue with grappling with one's identity, and coming to conclusions that don't fit with reality and ones own nature. As a follow up question I would ask is being gay against one's nature?

I haven't fully formulated my thoughts on the topic but that's my short take on it as of now. Id like to hear from others to see if I can make ground in understanding it better.
