The Morman hypothetical

This question goes to my Morman brothers and sisters here on the board...

One day, your child comes to you and says that he or she is gay. What do you do? Or, rather, how do you handle the situation?

Thanks!

EDIT: Someone already said this.

Anyways, what does everyone do besides mormons? What would you do Vinyl?

From our late Prophet Hinckley:

I'm interested to know why Hinckley used the term "so-called." Also, what is the "discipline of the church" he talks about when referencing members living their life in happiness by being gay.

What are you referring to Kicky?

The church pretty deeply endorses trying to counsel homosexuals into a) never engaging in sexual activity ever and/or b) "therapy" to "cure" them. This is clearly not the way you would treat a heterosexual child because you wouldn't be trying to tell them that their natural sexual inclinations were unclean and could NEVER be made legitimate or make it a goal to change their basic sexual urges.

I fully laud any Mormon parent who would truly accept their gay child, but to pretend that the church truly counsels not to treat them any different is simply a fabrication.

Don't forget "consider themselves." Those two tells are the real church position on homosexuals: they don't exist.
 
This is just an ignorant post from Vinyl who obviously has some sort of a beef with the LDS church and wants to knock on them by purposely misspelling Mormon. You know there's no way around that. Anyways, I think I good response to Vinyl's questions would simply be this. "As I have loved you, love one another." I would hope that anyone of any religion, creed, race of what ever would love their child no matter what, that's what I would do.

Does your "hope" figure into reality?

Edited to add: I mean, I hope what you hope bro. Happiness, love, respect, understand...they're all keys to living a long, healthy and fruitful life. That said, I could never be part of an organization that didn't believe in those things.

The same discipline as someone else who breaks the law of chastity. Bottom line is the Church views gay sex a sin. SHOCKER!!!!!......I am married and my body wants to have sex with half the girls at UVU, but if I did I would be punished.

Some Mormons consider themselves alcoholics and that's not a sin, but them acting on their temptation is. Its really not that hard to understand.

No. I have hope and yen there is no violence, no starvation, and no tragedies either, but it's inevitable and things like that still happen. What's your point?

Do you think we have control over the institutions we belong to or the teachings we listen to?
