Excerpt from a letter written by Spencer W Kimball dated December 20th, 1965: ¹

“Homosexual relationships are dead-end. What would this man do for you, or these men, should you suddenly fall victim to a dread disease, an incurable disease? Suppose your body shriveled; suppose you could no longer satisfy sexually; suppose you could no longer be “used.” How long would the alleged friendship or friendly ties last?”
