We should not avoid entirely the person who's repenting of sin. Instead, believers with a spirit of compassion should bear each other's burdens and so fulfilled the law of Christ. That ought to be that that should be how we interact.
Again, the Christian who is making war against their same-sex attraction is going against everything that culture is spitting out at the moment. Everything around them portrays sexuality as the defining characteristic of a person, that who (or even what) you are attracted to is the most important aspect of your character. So for a person to fight against that cultural pull, he or she certainly needs a loving and engaged church community to support and encourage them.
