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.
