Comments on: Mormon Glossary: GHI https://mormonfaq.com/a-glossary-of-mormon-terms/mormon-glossary-ghi Answers to your questions about the Mormon Church Mon, 30 Sep 2013 03:42:56 +0000 hourly 1 By: Joshua Johanson https://mormonfaq.com/a-glossary-of-mormon-terms/mormon-glossary-ghi#comment-11 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 23:56:04 +0000 http://mormonfaq.com/?page_id=100#comment-11 Under homosexuality, the definition reads: “The Church regrets the suffering, loneliness, and confusion experienced by people with same-sex attraction and affords them all the civil rights they desire except the institution of marriage.”

I think you are confusing same-sex attraction with those living the gay lifestyle. Not everyone with same-sex attractions are in same-sex relationships. Some have been able to deal with their same-sex attractions, develop a sexual attraction for someone of the opposite sex, and have gone on to create happy and fulfilling marriages. The church does allow people with same-sex attractions to get married. It does not allow for same-sex couples to get married. There is a difference. Oh, and not all of us are lonely.

We are very much a hidden segment of the LDS population, and one that I hope will have a bit more light.
