I'm curious about this statement.

http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,1820161,1820374#msg-1820374I've known of a few women couples who are living together in long term relationships and are TBM.
Now, I never found out about their sexuality but their devotion to each other move than rivals any hetero married couple.
I would think it would be easier for Mormon homosexuals (yes they exist) to be true believers as females than males for obvious reasons.
Mormon men in this situation would not fly I think. They would be considered sexually active. But TBM women are above reproach. I actually know of a couple who are fully active temple-attending women who share all of their assets and for all intents and purposes are Lesbians possibly without the sexual expression. One of the women's family even refers derogatorily to one of these women behind their backs as uncle.
Even adding a sexual dimension I could see TBM Lesbians. I think there may have been many during polygamy's heyday. To them their sinning probably is a close relative to masturbation. They probably don't see it to the degree the much maligned male homosexuality experiences in Mormonism.
Women just aren't as important in Mormonism.
My polygamist sister, while not homosexual, has stated that she feels closer to her sister wives than her husband.
