1) If that is what her family is telling her, then they are not following church doctrine and policy. See mormonsandgays.org for actual information about the position of the church. See also

The church publically supported law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of same gender attraction in employment and housing. It welcomes any and everyone to services, though it does not approve of the behavior that promotes a gay lifestyle.
3) I think it may be useful to encourage her to educate her family in what their faith actually expects. Doesn't mean that her family will accept the gay lifestyle, but it should absolutely end the trash talk and the failure to respect her choice whether or not they agree with it or like it.no
