Same-Sex Attraction
Same-Sex Attraction Men
Your same-sex attraction does not dictate your choices; your agency is still intact. You can make choices that continue to reflect your faith in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and the covenants you have made with Him. As you turn to Heavenly Father for comfort and direction, He will help you understand your path forward. He may only give you the next right thing. If inspiration comes one small step at a time, it will be a step toward Him. God can inspire you with increased understanding of how He will work in your life for good.
Same-Sex Attraction Women
Experiences with the discovery of attractions to the same sex are almost as varied as there are women who experience them. For some, the realization may come at an early age. For others, it might happen in their 40s, 50s or beyond. Realizing you have an attraction to women at any age can be startling and disorienting. It will likely cause you to examine past experiences through a new lens. You may struggle to make sense of it all. This process will require patience as it will take time to fully understand. Staying close to Heavenly Father through prayer will help you remember His compassion for you. He will guide you as you seek Him. Attraction to the same sex is not something you need to hide from Him. You are His child. He knows you and loves you deeply.
