feb 27, 1979 - The Homosexual Cannot be Exalted [Part 44]

Description:

"It has come to our attention that many homosexuals who hide their perversion in public cry out when among their ‘gay’ groups, ‘God made us this way. We are still children of God. He understands; He knows our hearts. We faithfully hold family home evenings, we pray, we attend Church. Why don’t the Brethren understand? Why will they not listen? We were just made different. It is not our fault. God will surely judge us differently from our brethren.’

“And so, they envy the ‘normal’ member of the Church who lives an uprightand circumspect life, saying, ‘If only the Brethren understood.’

“To condone homosexuality is not an act of charity. Perversion is perversion. All the reasoning of the greatest minds in the world cannot change the seriousness of the transgression. Worlds without end, the homosexual cannot be exalted. That is it—as plainly, simply, and clearly as one can state.”

-Vaughn J. Featherstone of the Seventy “Charity Never Faileth,” BYU Speeches February 27, 1979
