The following link should be required for every church, preacher, layperson, bishop, parents, etc. Constant reiteration of the "you're living sin" or "we love the sinner, but not the sin" is psychologically devastating for LGBT persons. For all of its protestations to the contrary, religious teachings do far more harm than good. With folks like Bednar, there is no homosexuality in the church, running the show, every parent with an LGBT child, should head for the door of the church and never return. I'm reminded of a story where Alfred Hitchcock saw a priest approaching a child as he drove down the street, supposedly he rolled down the window and yelled to the child, "run, run."
