“All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.” (THE FAMILY: A PROCLAMATION TO THE WORLD)
Gender and same sex attraction has been and I think always will be a subject people don’t agree on. I know that I personally have my own thoughts and feelings about it, but I have never been one to stand up and tell the world how I feel. Maybe that’s a good things and maybe it’s not. I would never want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but I do know for a fact that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us so much no matter who we are, where we come from or what we look like. I wish everyone had a testimony of this gospel and the many blessings it can bring into our lives on a daily basis. Like I said, I have never been one to tell others how I feel about this subject, but after being married and sealed in the temple, I have a better understanding of eternal marriage and the importance of a forever family.
“The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.” (THE FAMILY: A PROCLAMATION TO THE WORLD)
