In class, we talked about same sex attraction, and talked about what might lead individuals to make this decision.  Some studies have shown that a lack of a male figure can lead to this, just because that's all the child really knows, the tendencies of a woman.  Relationships with parents and children, if intimacy is there, the children won't try to look for it and maybe end up finding it destructively.  In The Family: A Proclamation to the World, it says that gender is an essential characteristic, both in this life and throughout the eternities. People may feel like they are missing affection, and when they find it, they cling to it.  Just a list of some things that could lead to this decision are: missing affection, rebellion, ignorance, blaming themselves for problems they see within the home, it is getting more and more acceptable in the world  and many more.  I wish there was a way to teach all those the Gospel and show them the things that are missing in their lives.  Maybe that would change them, maybe not, but at least they wouldn't just be ignorant of the knowledge that everyone should be entitled to.  Heavenly Father made man for woman, and woman for man, and that in the way the Plan of Salvation, we know that marriage is between a man and a woman, and we need that to receive exaltation.
