A new pamphlet about homosexuality appeared on the church’s website in late July, 2007. The pamphlet is entitled God Loveth His Children, and, among other things, says that the Church does not know what causes same-sex attractions but does not believe sexual abuse and sexual experimentation in childhood are responsible. It declares that same-sex attractions are not considered sinful but affirms that acting on those attractions is incompatible with God’s plan for families in the afterlife. It urges same-sex attracted LDS members to remain active in the church and asks other members to treat them with love and respect. This panel will discuss this new pamphlet and welcomes a wide-ranging and frank discussion of this important topic. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mormonstories/message

Perhaps the most strident and controversial of the 6 was Paul Toscano. This is his story. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mormonstories/message
