What causes same-sex attraction?
The Church does not take a position on the cause of same-sex attraction.
President Dallin H. Oaks stated: “The Church does not have a position on the causes of any of these susceptibilities or inclinations, including those related to same-gender attraction” (interview with Elder Dallin H. Oaks and Elder Lance B. Wickman, “Same-Gender Attraction” [2006]); see also “Same-Sex Attraction and Same-Sex Behavior,” General Handbook: Serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 38.6.12).
