The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) teaches that all people are the sons and daughters of God, and therefore should be treated with respect and love no matter their race or sexual orientation. Homosexuals are welcome to participate in Church worship services, but cannot be baptized unless they live a celibate lifestyle, as homosexual activity is considered a sin. Celibate homosexuals who have been baptized actively participate by serving in the congregation as teachers and missionaries.
The Church does not support legalizing gay marriage, but does actively support other gay rights legislation, such as equal housing and employment rights. The majority of Church members support some sort of 'domestic partner' legislation, which would give gay couples the same legal rights as married couples, but without the 'marriage' title.
Church members are advised to "love the sinner, not the sin."
