Question #2: Why does the church believe that *association with out-of-closet homosexual people will cause you to become gay as well?
*It is better to choose as friends those who do not publicly display their homosexual feelings. The careful selection of friends and mentors who lead constructive, righteous lives is one of the most important steps to being productive and virtuous. Association with those of the same gender is natural and desirable, so long as you set wise boundaries to avoid improper and unhealthy emotional dependency, which may eventually result in physical and sexual intimacy. There is moral risk in having so close a relationship with one friend of the same gender that it may lead to vices the Lord has condemned.
Question #3: How do we know what God's sexual orientation is?
Question #4: Why does God want us to do the same things he does?
Question #5: How exactly does legal gay marriage make **light of straight marriage?
Gordon B. Hinckley, “What Are People Asking about Us?” Ensign, Nov. 1998, 71.**But we cannot stand idle if they indulge in immoral activity, if they try to uphold and defend and live in a so-called same-sex marriage situation. To permit such would be to make light of the very serious and sacred foundation of God-sanctioned marriage and its very purpose, the rearing of families.
Question #5: How do church leaders ***know that gender roles were set during the premortal existence?
