Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Romans 1:32 ESV
Everyone instinctively knows that heterosexuality and marriage are natural. They have to convince themselves otherwise through choice and practice, or else by pain and brainwashing inflicted on them.
Since we were created by God for God's purposes, those who reject what they know to be true and reject God's plan for them have no reason to complain about their condemnation. They are useless tools, so why should the toolmaker allow them to take up space in his workshop?

For this reason God gave them up to shameful afflictions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature...
Romans 1:26
Shameful afflictions (pathe atimios) of the mind. Pathos refers to a disease, not a desire. This isn't talking about STDs, but a spiritual, mental, and physical addiction brought on by engaging in activities that are bad for you. Like diabetes and other lifestyle-connected illnesses, it gets worse the more you engage in the behavior.
Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves...
Romans 1:24 ESV
If you reject that which every child can discern, why should God invite you into deeper truths? Some people are determined to believe a lie, and God allows them to be who they want to be.
If there is a single, ultimate Creator of the universe, then logically he must be infinitely powerful, infinitely wise. He would be terrifying beyond our imagination with standards higher than we could ever reach...so we set our sights lower. We ignore the Creator and worship creatures because they don't demand anything too big. We can make them weak and flawed, just like us, and then pat ourselves on the back for how great we are.
Romans 1:22-23
