In the most recent general conference, Elder Joseph W. Sitati of the seventy said that "the onset of day and night is one daily reminder of realities that govern our lives that we cannot change. When we respect and align what we do with these eternal realities, we experience internal peace and harmony. When we don’t, we are unsettled, and things do not work as we expect."
I think it's safe to say that our orientation is one of those realities in our lives that we cannot change. So we need to respect an align our lives with this reality so that we can experience internal peace and harmony. If the church requires us to do otherwise, we will be unsettled, and things won't work as expected. Is it any wonder that so many LGBTQ+ members are feeling so unsettled in the church?
