How exactly DOES someone get forgiveness for the sin of homosexual actions?

Ive heard people say that you should repent but not exactly how

i would imagine very similar process as inappropriate heterosexual actions.... start by going to your bishop.

The church has a good collection of resources at http://lds.org/same-sex-attraction.

Especially with homosexuality, I think a key is to remember that you are loved of God. All people sin and fall short of the glory of God. It doesn't matter whether it was with a man or a woman, sex is only for a husband and a wife. I know when I was dealing with same-sex attraction, I would often get down on myself for being attracted to men, but that isn't what God wants. Realize that God loves you, he wants you to be happy, and He knows the greatest happiness comes through following his gospel.
