A GAY MORMON MISSN: A CONVERSATN WH JOHNNY TOWNSEND
Th, the LDS Church’s view on the practice of homosexualy will never change. Bee the world already has a liberal view on sexualy and do not thk a great al of the practice of sex before marriage, views the LDS Church’s views towards gay Mormons as expectatns which are far too high.
“It is neher fair, nor realistic” the world says, “to expect a person who has homosexual attractns to rema celibate for their entire liv. The stggl of homosexual attractn for gay Mormons are, admtedly, very hard. Gay Mormons should not feel any shame for their feelgs, but they should turn to the Savr for His help and strength to overe all temptatns—whether those temptatns are related to homosexualy or not—and have fah that He will help them overe.

“GAY MORMONS?” A REVIEW
This might actually be of fort to gay men and lbians who so equently have been the victims of harsh, unfair judgments, and who have – morn tim pecially – been equently “st out of our synagogu” (Alma 32: 9). Of greater fort and signifince to me as a gay man is the Book of Mormon’s wns regardg the active role God plays the liv of his children.
When 15-year-old Alex Cooper me out to her vout Mormon fay, they drove her om the fay home a Southern California suburb to an unlicensed -home treatment program whose proprietors, fellow Mormons, promised they uld help Alex change om gay to straight.
And when she did not yield to a treatment regime centered around hoework and group scripture study, she was ma to wear a backpack full of rocks reprentg the “burn of her homosexualy” and stand facg the wall for hours on end. As important as is to tell the dark tth about nversn therapy, is jt a important that Alex’s story has a happy endg: she mak a urageo pe, fds alli, fights a historic urt battle to go home unr the protectn of the law as a gay teenager, rn wh her now acceptg fay, fish school, and mov to Portland to start a new life wh her girliend. When she did, she fell almost stantly wh the band of urageo teenagers who were leadg the fight to tablish a mp Gay Straight Alliance.
