Dear Gramps, I talked to my bishop about a chastity problem I had had a couple years ago. He said since it was so long ago and that I hadn’t done it since that I would be forgiven. I’m not sure though. I don’t know if I would have been able to resist the same...

My son has SSA (Same Sex Attraction). He does not act upon it. He wants to go on a mission. He has worked on worthiness and feels ready to go. We were told that he couldn’t go because he has SSA. In the Church Handbook of Instructions it says that individuals...

My 21-year-old announced he was gay in his early teens. It took years for us to get to a place where we agreed to love each other while agreeing to disagree. We had finally succeeded in his understanding it was a matter of respect to not bring it into our home when he...
