Do we support this?

Why can’r we have male female companions?

Why is the LGBTQ+ community so much better at bridling their passions?

Do we have ways of identifying LGBTQ+ missionaries so that they are not matched as companions?

I don’t care about the sexual preference of a missionary.

But, I feel strongly that an LDS mission is NOT the time to express your sexuality, no matter what it is. 
 

LGBTQ+ or not, if you can’t control yourself you really should not go on a mission.

In the current policy I would have to decline an offer to serve as a Bishop (no one is asking BTW).

My son had a LGBTQ+ companion.  He did not enjoy the experience.  That missionary went on later to have a companionship wherein they consummated their lust.

The flaming missionary did elect to go home early.  The other missionary stayed in the field.  Finished his mission and within the year of serving honorably was sealed in the Temple of the Lord.

I thought missionaries were generally sent home for having sexual intercourse. What made this case different?

I'm not sure they are better at bridling their passions, but there is a spectrum of attraction and desire that might be in play that is hopefully discerned by the missionary and with their bishop and mission president as necessary to prevent moral lapse.

I do think they are often better at hiding their passions for obviously societal and ecclesiastical reasons.

I have no idea, not privy to that information.

Well, to be fair, it’s a personal issue between the missionary, their president, and the other person involved. It’s none of our affair. 

Yes, I understand, but "back in the day" missionaries were summarily sent home, if not excommunicated also, for having sex. I knew several in my mission, both elders and sisters.

Understand fully my friend. I never served a mission, so I have no firsthand experience.

Way back in the day…

Contrast Alma chapters 39-42 with Alma 48: 17-18.

Well, now we’ve raised the bar, doncha know?

[In all serious:  a person who is in a missionary-companion-type relationship with another person who is sexually aggressive towards them, is in an intensely vulnerable situation.  Time was, someone on the receiving end of such advances could punch the aggressor in the nose; but for twenty years the LGBTQ movement has not-so-subtly sent the message that when Gay Bubba puts the moves on you and refuses to stop, telling him “no” is an act of bigotry.]
