All About Mormons

Hi. I’m writing from my ipod… Please forgive the mistkes…

I’m an active mormon who has homosexual desires. I have been in the church for 15 years, served a mission a year after I joined and have been going strong even though I have asked myself wether or not I was able to live chaste and possibly never be in a relationship ever again.

It isn’t something I was able to say yes to from the start. There was a time when I beleived that I could change my attractions and this has brought some important changes in my life. The therapy has helped me resolve many important issues and improved my relations with both men and women. I still don’t know if I will ever reach the point where I will be able to add my voice to those who profess to have resolved their same-sex attractions in “a healthy manner”, but I cannot deny what I know to be true and I beleive that God expects sexual relations to take place only between a man and a woman within the bounds of matrimony.

I have been far from perfect in dealing with my struggles with my attractions through the years but I beleive that my willingness to adhere to God’s commandments has filled my life with a great amount of love. It is a tremendous blessing to have this Godsent love in my life. It changes the way I experience life and is a great source of joy and satisfaction for me. I may never experience the love that exists between a man and a woman in this life, but I have tasted what kind of love the Lord has for his children and quite frankly, whatever he decides is best for me in the end will be more than enough.

May our love for one another grow here on this earth untill that day where war and hatred will cease and we will be able to confide freely and honestly with oneanother and do all we can to help each other.

Press forward! Jammie
