A Brotherhood of Latter-Day Saint Men with Same-Sex Attraction United to Align Their Behaviors With Their Beliefs

“. . . Behold, I have seen your sacrifices, and will forgive all your sins; I have seen your sacrifices in obedience to that which I have told you. Go, therefore, and I make a way for your escape, as I accepted the offering of Abraham of his son Isaac.”
(Doctrine and Covenants 132:50)

Sons of Sacrifice

The Sons of Sacrifice training program is for men with same-sex attraction who want to keep their covenants with God, especially of a sexual nature, and remain active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

We are NOT reparative therapy, shame-based, or anti-gay.

Program Benefits

Confidentiality

All meetings begin with an agreement of confidentiality, and we end each meeting with a promise of mutual support. We take confidentiality very seriously. No one is to share the names or details of who attends the meetings, what they say, or anything that can be used to identify any individual in the group.

Camaraderie & Support

Sons of Sacrifice includes men with a variety of experiences, ages, education levels, and backgrounds, who all understand the challenges of being attracted to men and being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Where shame keeps so many of us isolated, we seek to model healthy, non-romantic connections between men.

Gospel-centered

Principles taught include gospel-based methods based on scripture and teachings of apostles and prophets for recovery from pornography addiction and unwanted sexual behaviors. We bring God into the recovery process. Spiritual truths are combined with behavioral tools to help you succeed for a lifetime.

Sexually Affirming

Sexuality is beautiful and natural in whatever form God has let it happen in our lives. In general we don’t worry about the why or how or what about each man’s individual combination of attractions. We acknowledge that attractions to the same gender are real - we stop hating ourselves for having them.

Behavior Elimination

Learn skills to align your actions with your beliefs and eliminate behaviors that violate your moral standards. Sons of Sacrifice teaches tools and methods that have been used successfully by thousands to stop addictive activities and build new habits for success. These tools don’t focus on attractions, but on behaviors.

Learn Discernment Skills

Acquiring discernment skills is essential to self-mastery: understanding where, when, how you are tempted and analyzing "lost battles" can help you win in the future. You will receive specific training to gain new discernment skills you can use in every aspect of your life, including sexual self-mastery.

Program Details

How it Works

Sons of Sacrifice groups honor the reality of our same-sex attraction while supporting each other to eliminate unwanted sexual behaviors or pornography addition. We practice living lives of joy centered in the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

In this program we practice sexual sobriety and healthy male bonding skills, while also offering support for the unique challenges faced by homosexual/bisexual men who are faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

The Sons of Sacrifice believe we can stay on the covenant path, keep our behaviors within the limits established by God, live joyfully and reconcile our spiritual and sexual identities.

Online groups available for men to participate anywhere they live. Trained mentors are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who also experience SSA.

*Sons of Sacrifice makes no judgement of LGBTQAI+ people, the choices they make, or how they live their lives. We support self-determination in choosing behaviors consistent with an individual’s conscience. This program is not “reparative therapy,” makes no claims about “healing” homosexuality, nor does it force men to make changes against their will.

"...your prayers have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabbaoth, and are recorded with this seal and testament—the Lord hath sworn and decreed that they shall be granted. Therefore, he giveth this promise unto you, with an immutable covenant that they shall be fulfilled; and all things wherewith you have been afflicted, shall work together for your good, and to my name’s glory, saith the Lord." (Doctrine & Covenants 98:2–3)

Here's What Many Are Saying

“When I opened the door to allow the possibility that being gay is a good thing, my entire worldview took a cataclysmic shift in a new direction. Now I see that being gay is a blessing in my life and absolutely essential for me to do the things God wants me to do. I didn’t choose it, but God can use it to help me help others.”
B.G.
“I have had those same emotions as you. I wanted to die and never [need] to face God. I was deep in sin and regret. I wish I never had these feelings to begin with. But for some reason God gave them to me. I also knew no one else could change me. I went to therapists, bishops, and different 12 step meetings. They all told me great things. They just couldn't change my behavior. When I joined this program, I found ways I could work and do the steps [required] to get better. I just had to put forth the effort.
Current participant
“I am feeling gratitude and peace tonight just for my new life with my wife, the group support in this group, along with the tools I have gained from this group, and just how Heavenly Father has blessed me so much with everything! I am at a 0 (the top of our emotional scale).
Current Sons of Sacrifice participant
“Since I started this journey in recovery, I am much happier. I have a stronger family. Trust between my wife and I is solid. I am able to be a strength to others in my family, ward, and others I come in contact with. I also feel closer to my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I have learned about the awesome power of the Atonement. I fight because I do not want to go back to where I was.”
Current Sons of Sacrifice Participant
“I have felt that I could not be useful to the Lord because of my being gay. [With this program,] I am starting to see that the Lord is using all of us for His purposes to be a strength to each other and other people we serve.”
