Perhaps because the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints routinely makes statements condemning homosexuality as sin and abomination, and thus is one of the motivators for Mormon teens to harass their non-heterosexual peers?

However, as noted in the article itself, the CJCLDS is not the only Mormon denomination; in fact, there exists the Restoration Church of Jesus Christ, which split off from the CJCLDS specifically to be a pro-LGBT alternative. Other notable differences are that women may hold the priesthood, the Heavenly Mother (God\'s wife in Mormonism) is equal to God/Christ/The Holy Ghost, and the Word of Wisdom (from the Doctrine and Covenants) is not absolute, though still considered good advice.

Also worth noting is that Mormonism doesn\\\'t condemn homosexual attraction in and of itself, so long as the homosexual does not act upon his/her desires. More precisely, the CJCLDS condemns the sexual behaviors, not the orientation itself, since they regard sexual relationships between one man and one woman who are married as the only method of achieving sex without sinning. Individuals within the Mormon faith will on occasion take this way too far and pursue homosexuals regardless of whether they practice homosexual intimacy, making the assumption that all homosexuals perform homosexual behaviors.
