In two of my classes we have been talking about the affects of same gender attraction on a family. First off we are meant to love everyone. People have different views and from a talk by Elder Oaks we need to have a balance of truth and tolerance.
In the Plan of Salvation it is required that marriage be between a man and a women. Not just that though there are statistics that show that that marriage is better for a child. People have done studies that show kids with the same gender parents and more likely to grow up that way, more likely to be forced into sexual activity and same gender couples are more likely to cheat before marrying their partner.
Children need a father; children need a mother, that is just how we are built. What a mother gives, a father cannot and it's the same the opposite. I always thought it would be hard for someone to push through that temptation (which I'm sure it is) but that can be a struggle similar to robbing someone or competing a murder, you just don't do it. These types of feelings aren't in heaven though so for now it may be a struggle but you will be able to push through and make it to the end when we won't have to deal with temptations anymore.
