Comments on: Gay rights and Mormons http://gmormon.com/259/gay-rights-and-mormons?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=gay-rights-and-mormons (G.Martinengo): A Mormon blog about religion, family, and more Thu, 31 Mar 2011 17:30:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Giuseppe Martinengo http://gmormon.com/259/gay-rights-and-mormons/comment-page-1#comment-7640 Giuseppe Martinengo Thu, 30 Oct 2008 16:21:09 +0000 http://gmormon.com/?p=259#comment-7640 I think that my comment to the comment is just repeating my last paragraph: Mormons try (or better, should) love every son or daughter of God, including those who have homosexual tendencies. However, Mormons believe that to act on those tendency is wrong. I am sure there are many great people who have those tendencies and are working hard to overcome them, similarly to people who have other kinds of tendencies. We should love the person but not the sin. I think that my comment to the comment is just repeating my last paragraph:

Jesus says some people are born gay. Most gays do not have children. Eunuchs cannot have children. When it comes to marriage gay members of the church can recieve revelation about the proclamtion on the family is true and inspired of God. In a church that talks about temple marriage and family we should try to be a little more sensitive to the needs of our brothers and sisters in the gospel who are gay. Try to think of the women who have no children on Mothers Day and how painful it can be. While I am not gay I think some of the material you wrote or quoted about gays do not reflect the gays in the church. Why don`t you try getting to know some gay members instead of looking at the subject from books?
