Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that "Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose." (The Family: A Proclamation to the World) Mormons do not believe that any being can be genderless. God has a gender, and we are His offspring created in His image, therefore we also have genders. All angels and spirits, and even all animals and plants, have genders. We will not loose these genders in heaven, and nowhere in scripture does it suggest that we will.
Mormons DO NOT believe that the highest levels of heaven are only for the 'white and delightsome'. That is not suggested anywhere in scripture. All levels of heaven are for all races of people, as God loves all His children equally. The Book of Mormon says "[God] denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God." (2 Nephi 26:33) Mormons believe that God wants to save all people, and will reward them based on their faithfulness.
Also, Mormons do not believe there are secret codes to get into the various levels of heaven. There is no secret, the requirements for heaven are plainly laid out in scripture. (See Doctrine and Covenants section 76) To enter the Celestial Kingdom (the highest) one must accept Jesus Christ and follow His commandments. The Terrestrial Kingdom is for those who accepted Jesus Christ but did not live faithful lives. The Telestial Kingdom is for those who refused to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. Perdition or damnation is reserved for those who knew and accepted Jesus but then later denied Him. There is no regard to race in heaven, and no secrets to get there, faith in Jesus Christ and love of God are the only requirements.

Does mormonism advocate sexual equality?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe in a unique brand of gender equality. Mormons believe that "gender is an essential characteristic of individual identity and purpose" and that men and women are equal in value but different in purpose. Mormons have both women and men preach, teach, and lead in the church, but men generally oversee the operations of the church (i.e. the Priesthood) while women generally oversee the outreach and service of the church (i.e. the Relief Society). Men are expected to provide for and protect their families, women are expected to nurture and teach - but both are to help one another as equal partners as one responsibility is not more important than the other. The different roles and responsibilities expected are due to the innate, God-given personalities and talents of the different genders. Mormons are unique in that they believe that individuals cannot achieve the highest degree of heaven alone - they must be sealed to a member of the opposite gender and work together in equal unity in order to achieve their highest purpose.As far as other aspects of sexual equality - Mormons believe that sex is only permissible within in a legally recognized heterosexual marriage. Premarital sex, extramarital sex (adultery), and homosexual acts are all sinful. Mormons believe that homosexuals should have equal treatment under the law and have supported legal measures to guarantee equality in housing, employment, etc but do not support the legalization of same-sex marriage. (Many Mormons do support 'domestic partnerships' with the same legal rights as marriages, however.) Gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc Mormons are welcome to be baptized, ordained, and hold most positions within the Church but are expected to refrain from homosexual relationships.

What is the belief of the Mormons about transsexualism?
"Mormons" (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) believe that transsexualism is wrong, and that gender is a unique trait given to each of us by God. God does not make mistakes! While we hold this belief, we recognize and appreciate the freedom of belief and expression. We believe that we should love all people because God loves all people. Therefore, although we thing transsexualism is wrong, we strive to be kind and loving to those who are struggling with this issue in their lives.
Did you know Mormons already let the gays into the Celectial kingdom as long as they do exactly what the church says and never reveal their flamboyance ever ever ever?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) has always accepted gay and homosexual members, and has always believed that they have equal opportunity to enter the Celestial kingom as straight individuals. Gay and homosexual Mormons can be as flamboyant as they wish- the sin is not in flamboyance or even in attraction to the same gender, but in performing same-gender sexual acts which have been forbidden by the Bible. Mormons believe that gay and homosexual individuals commit sin only when they have a sexual relationship with an individual of the same gender. (Similarly, alchoholics only sin when they give in to their desires to have a drink, drug addicts only sin when they give in to their desires for a high, etc.)

Why do Mormons have so many obviously gay members and don't kick them out since they've already sinned in their heart and will never change?
Because Mormons don't believe that being gay is a sin. We believe that participating in homsexual sex is a sin. If you are attracted to a member of the same gender, that is an unfortunate circumstance, but it isn't a sin. If you act on that attraction and enter into a sexual relationship with them, then you have sinned. Mormons aren't perfect and don't expect others to be either. If you commit a few sins but realize your mistake and sincerely repent of them, there's no harm done. That's the whole reason Jesus Christ came to the earth, so that we can repent of our sins and be forgiven of them.

How do mormens feel towards herasexuals?
I assume you are asking 'How do Mormons feel towards homosexuals?' Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) believe that gender and the power to procreate are sacred gifts from God and should not be used inappropriately. The believe that sexual relations are meant only to take place between a man and woman legally married as husband and wife. This means they support heterosexual (tradiational) marriage. The Church and it's members acknowledge that many are conflicted with feelings of being attracted to the same gender (that is, many are homosexual). The Church welcomes homosexuals and allows them to be baptized and fully participate in their local congregations. The Church, however, expects it's homosexual members to abide by the same guidelines as it's heterosexual members, which includes living a moral and chaste lifestyle. They must avoid having sexual relationships with anyone outside of marriage or who is of the same gender. To put it simply, the Church welcomes homosexuals, and there are many homosexual Mormons, but they are expected to avoid any intimate homosexual relationships.
Did God marry?
In many religious traditions, God is seen as a singular and omnipotent being, not bound by human concepts such as marriage. Marriage is typically understood as a union between two individuals, and it is not commonly attributed to God in a literal or human sense.
