Mormons currently believe that it is a sin to act on homosexual attraction, though having homosexual attraction in and of itself is not a sin because it is not freely chosen. They see gays as people equal in dignity and loved by God just the same as everyone else, as we are all sinners.
This is the same belief regarding homosexuality as the majority of Christian denominations. Mormons are no different in that sense.
TFTFY
Everything (literally) in the Mormon orbit is subject to change, as it has been since Joe Smith saw the blinding light in the woods in (pick one) 1817, 1818, 1819, 1820, 1821, 1822, 1823, or 1824.
(Joe Smith has claimed various years for the First Visitation and researchers have noted problems with all them contradicting known historical details and have proposed other years. The Mormon hierarchy claims all the conflicting dates and the greatly differing accounts presented by Joe Smith on different occasions are "remarkably consistent". A skeptic might suspect Joe was telling so many lies and making up so much folderol that he was not able to keep track of it)
And there's Jo's Book of Abraham, which he supposedly translated from some scabby old papyri scroll. Unfortunately, poor Jo was out cleaver'd by some smart French bloke called Champollion who had learned the ancient Egyptian lingo. When Egyptologists looked at the scroll their verdict was unanimous; Fuck off! Its a funerary text, We've got loads of them.
One would expect that would be the end of it. But no, the Book of Abraham is venerated by those in the Moron church. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
