Wow this was a very intense week. To be honest, I never really knew my view on homosexual relationships and what the source is. I was raised catholic, and was always taught that it was a choice. Growing up, one of my mothers brothers "came out of the closet". My parents didn't want us to have anything to do with him, so  all communication with him was cut off. Then as I reached high school, I had a couple friends who were homosexual and it seemed like they always said they were born like that. I was so confused as to what I believed. I knew it wasn't right, but I didn't know if people were born like it, or whether or not it was a choice. After talking about it in class I came to realize it's a trial. Everyone has different temptations. For some this may be it. I also learned that things such as sexual abuse or a lack of a parental figure may spark something. I always knew my friends were good people. Even though they were making such choices in their lives, I never thought they were evil, like my parents had always taught us. How grateful I am for the Gospel and the knowledge it brings. We know who we are. Sons and daughters of a righteous king. We know that our genders were around even in the premortal world. Gender is not an earthly thing, it's eternal. Thanks to the proclamation to the world, we know such truths.
