Packer is wrong about homosexual relatnships” — I spoke om the heart about my disappotment that General Conference had taken such a harmful turn. “I believe that Elr Packer is wrong that there is no such thg as a godly homosexual relatnship.

I have seen a number of godly, lifelong, homosexual relatnships, jt as I have seen some heterosexual temple marriag that were unholy, like an LDS man who would not stop beltlg and huiatg his wife public, or an LDS woman who turned her children agast their father bee he had not been as succsful his reer as she thought he should be. On the flip si, I have seen plenty of excellent, betiful Mormon temple marriag and some unhealthy gay relatnships. It only serv to monize gay dividuals to characterize all gay relatnships as ‘impure’ or ‘not harmony wh the prcipl of the Gospel.

Why, then, do we fixate so much of our attentn on nmng homosexualy, a subject that Christ did not addrs a sgle time his earthly mistry?
