All I see in there is that you are not to act on your feelings, nor are you to promote that homosexuality is OK in society, but if you see something that is contradictory, well, OK. |

Personally, if you laid it out as passionately as you discuss it here, I have a REALLY hard time beleiving that you would not be contacted by someone. Not saying you would get into trouble, but there may be an interview or chat.

But surely you can read between the lines. If the feelings are not sinful, then how can there be a sin in expressing those feelings. The Church's attitude seems to be: "If you're attracted to someone of the same sex, that's fine. Just keep it to yourself."

SU does not get the credit for that concept. The notion that there is no God dates back to the early 80s, from a movie called Caddyshack.
Bartender: Another Rob Roy, Bishop? Bishop: You never ask a navy man if he'll have another drink, because it's nobody's goddamned business how much he's had already. Judge Smails: Wrong, you're drinking too much your Excellency. Bishop: Excellency, fiddlesticks, my name's Fred and I'm a man, same as you. Judge Smails: You're not a man, you're a bishop, for God's sakes. Bishop: There is no God

As I noted, I don't like looking ot the HC for this issue, but even so I think you are looking at it backwards. THe portion you highlighted prohibits physical acts that are expressions of homosexual feelings. Itis not talking about verbal expressions, it is talking about acting physically on urges, or acticing physically so as to create urges.

Suppose there were a person with same sex attraction that was in love with another man but never physically acted on his attraction. Let's also suppose that he lived with the person he was in love with and that he made no secret to people in the ward that he was in love with his partner. How do you suppose his verbal expressions of love would go over in the ward?

I suppose nonseq believes in the Easter Bunny as well.
A man sexually attracted to any object and stays within proximity of it, will not act upon it? Yeah right. And the BYU coed will refuse to eat the twinkie in front of her, if nobody is watching in the middle of the night.
