One of the most discussed issues in the Church, and one that perhaps causes the most angst, is that of same-sex attraction.
There are thousands of opinions and intense feelings on the issue, but there is also one clear doctrine that has been stated by the Brethren of the Church.
“His law of chastity is clear: sexual relations are proper only between a man and a woman who are legally and lawfully wedded as husband and wife.” ¹
That’s why the story of Courtney and Rachelle is so powerful. If you feel like you don’t have a good grasp on this issue, this video will teach you the power of love, the power of the Book of Mormon, and the influence that the Spirit wields in the lives of individuals.
These two women sacrificed their hopes and dreams because they felt the power of a God who was beckoning them to follow a higher plan, His plan. They gave up their old lifestyle, their marriage, and heeded the voice of the Spirit.
Thanks to LDS Daily for first reporting on this story of these amazing people. Please watch the video below with a heart to learn and understand – it is incredible!

Brave people, the only thing we need to do is to love, let the judging and all else up to The Savior , He's quite able to handle it. What if it is we that are being tested to see how much we will "feed His sheep".

Sadly I would agree but a Facebook group called awaken to our awful situation behaves in the most outrageous manner showing very unchristlike behavior by going on ersonal attacks against role and name calling. They claim to represent the Mormon faith and when I contacted the Mormon church leadership they made excuses for this and provided cover. So zero credibility.
If this is an example of "Love than anything sanctioned or pushed by this hateful group has n9 credibility. This article being one of those things.
