3 Nephi 12
I wonder how much of being reviled and persecuted any of those who were present when Christ first visited encountered considering that all the people were soon converted and stayed that way for over 100 years. Perhaps they did experience some persecution and reviling in early years from some who were show to accept the church.
When Christ says to deny yourselves of these things and take up your cross my thought was that this was exactly the message that he would give to those who experience same sex attraction. If they want to follow Him they should take up their cross and reject the temptation to accept their attraction as compatible with the gospel. After thinking that I reread the passage and noticed that he was directly addressing lust.
