Helping LDS Men Resolve their Homosexual Problems: A Guide for Family, Friends, and Church Leaders

by Jason Park

This book presents an understanding of male homosexuality in the context of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is written to the family, friends, and priesthood leaders of Latter-day Saint (Mormon) men who want to resolve their homosexual attractions. This book urges love and sensitivity toward those who struggle with difficult homosexual problems. It is written as a companion to Resolving Homosexual A Guide for LDS Men, which gives suggestions to men on resolving their problems. A man's journey out of homosexuality will be easier if he has the support of his friends and family, and this book can give you ideas on supporting someone you love. The process described is not one of suppressing homosexual feelings and controlling behavior through willpower. The goal is to resolve the inner conflicts that created the homosexual attractions. Although homosexual behavior can be stopped in the short term by exercising willpower, the unmet emotional and social nee! ds won't go away until they are fulfilled in nonsexual ways. As men resolve the underlying causes, the unwanted impulses will diminish or disappear.
